Kenya police torture a Somali youth to death

A patrolling Kenyan police has a night ago mercilessly tortured a Somali youth at Eastleigh in Niariobi Kenya.

Somaliweyn website has pursued what has exactly brought the killing of the Somali youth, and managed to reach Halima Adan who is the maternal aunt of the deceased Somali youth.

“The boy has just recently arrived in Nairobi, and has arrived from Ifo refugee camp in Dadab Kenya, he was brought here for medical checkups, he has been for along time having ailments, and he told me that he is feeling hungry and will look for something to eat from the street, and unfortunate on his way back home he meet with the patrolling police they caught him and asked for Kenyan identification card, but unfortunately he could reply them because he could not speak Kiswahili, so thus they gave him a slap on the forehead, so he decided to escape, and when he run they followed him running after him so he thought that he has nowhere to escape and entered a nearby house, the police furious and exhausted police entered the house and dragged the boy of the house and they have kicked him with their heavy leather boots and the butts of their guns and when he felt unconscious and felt on the ground they have sneaked” said Halima Adan speaking to Somaliweyn Website.

After the collapse of the last effective central of Somali the immediate countries which the Somalis have fled to are Djibouti, Kenya, Ethiopia and Uganda and in the entire of these countries the Somalis are given mutual respect apart from Kenya where they are always harassed, tortured and arrested for no grounds.

At times when the Kenyan police stop for instance its own citizens perhaps from the Somali dominated region of North Eastern Province, or a Somali from overseas countries with legal permit stay documents, they will start squabble till it talk becomes hot and they will drop you down to the police station creating false allegations against you such as he has fought with us he is not respecting and alike.

The Kenyan police are voted to be the most brutal and police in the world while the government of Kenya itself is said to be the most corrupted country in the African continent.
