So sad. And it's only going to get worse. ISIS is recruiting hard in Africa. Yes, there's a long history of tribal warfare but this is more insidious and aimed at innocents who were previously left alone. Hitting a research university means all bets are off.

This is happening on a forum where the majority of black posters purport to care about black people so much that they castigate anybody who is not "down for the cause," using criteria to make such assertions that can be described as trivial and menial at best.

Now when there actually is a cause, nikkas are nowhere to be found.

This has nothing to do with ISIS.

:what: Why don't you do the research yourself. You're naive if you think this isn't connected to ISIS. They've been predicting this for almost a year, since ISIS started dominating.

ISIS Is Inspiring Terrorist Groups In Africa

  • AUG. 28, 2014, 1:58 PM
African Islamists may be emboldened by the Islamic State's gains in the Middle East, and local security services need to cooperate to counter the continent's militants, African intelligence officials heard on Thursday.

African Islamist rebels like Nigeria's Boko Haram have not made as dramatic an advance as Islamic State, which controls a swathe of Syria and Iraq. But they have launched attacks across Africa, from Niger, Mali and Nigeria in the west to Somalia and Kenya in the east.

The success of Islamic State could shape the thinking of African Islamists, said Andrew Muzonzini, Zimbabwe's head of external intelligence and a member of the African Union's Committee of Intelligence and Security Services of Africa (CISSA).

"Given (Islamic State's) brutality in pursuit of its cause, it would be prudent for us to brace ourselves for a new cadre-ship of extremist fanatics," Muzonzini said at a CISSA conference in Nairobi.

Islamic State's success may be "the most significant development in the international jihadist discourse" since al Qaeda's attack on United States on Sept. 11, 2001, he said.

"Ahead of time, we should seek to understand (the Islamic State) modus operandi if we are to anticipate and predict challenges ahead."

Africa has many Islamist militant groups, which have operated with varying levels of success.

Boko Haram controls territory in Nigeria, but holds no strategic towns or major resources. Somalia's al Shabaab has been beaten back in recent years by African Union peacekeepers.

Kenyan Deputy President William Ruto called at the conference for better intelligence sharing between African states to challenge Islamist militants and criminal cartels smuggling arms, drugs and ivory.

"We must match these threats with commensurate imagination and innovative solutions," Ruto said in the Kenyan capital, the site in last September of a bold attack by al Shabaab gunmen on the Westgate shopping mall, an assault that left 67 people dead.

AL-SHABAAB ATTACKS KENYAN UNIVERSITY; CHRISTIANS TAKEN HOSTAGE, AT LEAST 15 KILLED

Fresh off a horrific 12-hour siege at a Somali hotel that left 17 dead, Islamist terror group Al-Shabaab has struck in Kenya, sending a squad of gunmen on a rampage through Garissa University College.
The attack has been in progress for eleven hours at the time of this writing, with CNNreporting heavy gunfire and explosions from the campus as security forces battle the terrorists. 550 people are still said to be missing. Reports on the university population vary, but it seems likely there were at least a thousand students and staff on site when the attack began.

Al-Shabaab has attacked Kenya before, most notoriously with the Westgate shopping mall massacre, and the university is only 90 miles from the Somali border, making it an accessible target. “The university was established in 2011 and is the only public university in the region,” writes CNN. “There are normally 800 students in the dormitories when school is in session, Jackstone Kweyu, dean of students, told Citizen TV. There are 1,000 staff members on a normal work day, he said. And there are usually four guards at the campus gates overnight.”

The attack began during morning prayers at 5 A.M. local time, as the kill squad shot the guards at the front gate, then moved on to the girl’s hostel, and then surrounded the on-campus mosque. There are about a dozen terrorists involved in the attack, clad in military fatigues and using heavy weapons. One of them was reportedly captured by security forces while trying to escape from the scene.

Many of the students fled during the attack, with hundreds taking refuge at a nearby Kenya Defense Forces camp. Several witnesses report the killers firing indiscriminately at students and teachers.

According to the UK Guardian, al-Shabaab spokesman Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab said his terror operatives released Muslim students and are holding Christian hostages on campus: “We sorted people out and released the Muslims. There are many dead bodies of Christians inside the building. We are also holding Christians alive. Fighting still goes on inside the college.”

Collins Wetangula, vice chairman of the student union at Garissa University, escaped from the slaughter after hiding with his roomates in their quarters. He confirms that Christians were targeted in the attack: “If you were a Christian you were shot on the spot. With each blast of the gun I thought I was going to die.” He also said the gunmen were shouting “We are al-Shabaab!” as they marched through the school.

The Guardian notes that separating out Christians for captivity and slaughter, while releasing Muslims, is standard procedure for al-Shabaab; they did the same thing during the Westgate massacre and other attacks.

The Kenyan government is portraying the university assault as a sign of desperation on al-Shabaab’s part, with one local politician declaring, “They are on the death bed. They need to be in the limelight – that is why they are going for these soft targets.” They’ve been hitting quite a few soft targets lately, and there have been reports that ISIS made diplomatic overtures to the al-Qaeda-linked Somali group, calling on them to carry out precisely the sort of attacks they’ve been perpetrating with such frequency.

Update, 12:30 PM EST: The death toll in the attack has skyrocketed to at least 70 killed, plus 79 wounded, according to the Associated Press. The siege is still ongoing. The Kenyan government says all staff members have been rescued from the university, and four of the attackers have been killed.

Update, 3:15 PM EST: The death toll has more than doubled, to 147, as the Kenyan government announced the siege was finally over. The UK Daily Mail says that some of the Christian students taken captive by al-Shabaab on campus were beheaded.
