Google it stead of asking for source.I seriously don't know how to post link here so I can't provide a source.

Here it is

Remote Controlled Robots

Backed by remote-controlled surveillance equipment that was used to map out the floors the attackers were suspected to be holed up, the commandos finally established that the killers were on the seventh floor.
At this point, the two commando units with seven members each, were on the third floor and were solely relying on a robot that had gone up to the sixth floor and located the militants on the upper floor based on electronic signals. Swiftly, one team ran up the stairs and locked the exit leading to the sixth floor. They held their positions on the fifth floor.

Look at Tayser's Mahiri latest post! Or better still use the search feature on Nairaland!

How much is Kenya's? about 1 billion? Nigeria's is 1.6 to be precise.

The baddest lot !

Their hand gloves conceal the guns.They must be carrying toys !

Now I see why you lost to child soldiers in DRC.

Calm down son! [quote author=darfay post=74895438][/quote]

All those men in your military being funded by a billion dollar?

abbeg:
The way he talks like Kenya's army is unbeatable! Nigeria army still will woop them so I don't know why he's hyping them.Comparing the desperate alshaabab with boko haram that had the guts to challenge Nigeria's superior army to a near conventional war.

Once again you have been shamed

Conflicting reports.That is some sh*t spelling there,who wrote that article!

darfay:
A picture is worth a thousand words

According to the report by New World Wealth, a South African market research firm, Kenya now has 8,500 millionaires, the largest number in the East African region.
Uganda has 1,300 and Tanzania 2,200. South Africa has the highest number of millionaires on the continent at 46,800 in 2014, followed by Egypt (20,000), then Nigeria (15,400).


This is according to New World Wealth report(2015).

Make your research young man. You don't bug your lecturer with everything

Their red hats look funny! I woould want to see them in a dusty hot desert taking on terrorists practising guerilla warfare!

You're just good in copy-pasting. Honestly you guys are the bottom of the barrel. Nigerians are slightly better.

Which report talks of 8,500 and 16,000 millionaires in both Kenya and Nigeria?

darfay:
Nigeria has the fastest growing number of millionaires in the entire world . Before you start shouting per capita like deranged fellows


Nigeria 0.163 x 16,000 = 2,608

Kiberaland 0.098 x 8500 = 833


Nigeria adds approximately 3.2x more millionaires than Kenya every year

Ibrahimanis never wrote about the value of the deals.

I personally gave out a link showing Kenya was leading in funding for the first six months of 2018.

darfay:
Nigeria closed the most deals period. And the drew in the second highest funds after RSA . @Ibrahimanis have dealt extensively with this issue

How Kenya's Elite Recce Squad trapped and eliminated terrorists


Events during the final one hour when 14 commandos killed four terrorists at dawn Wednesday, ending a 12-hour terror drama at the 14 Riverside complex, have been revealed.
This followed a drawn-out crisis that started when the terrorists took over the upscale complex at 3pm on Tuesday. By 3am the following day, the special forces had combed through six floors before trapping the attackers.

Remote Controlled Robots

Backed by remote-controlled surveillance equipment that was used to map out the floors the attackers were suspected to be holed up, the commandos finally established that the killers were on the seventh floor.
At this point, the two commando units with seven members each, were on the third floor and were solely relying on a robot that had gone up to the sixth floor and located the militants on the upper floor based on electronic signals. Swiftly, one team ran up the stairs and locked the exit leading to the sixth floor. They held their positions on the fifth floor.

Power supply

All this time the commandos had switched off the power supply to the entire building to disable the lifts.
The second team of seven sharpshooters used ropes to scale the sides of the building and accessed the seventh floor through a window.
Their entry forced the terrorists, who were at one far end, to try retreating to the sixth floor, but they realised the door leading to the staircase had been locked.
The terrorists were now sitting ducks
At the same time, members of the National Security Advisory Committee (NSAC), who were monitoring developments from Harambee House, were updated on what had just transpired.
The committee sought to know whether all the terrorists had been cornered.
After being informed of the killers’ whereabouts, the NSAC advised that all the people who had been trapped in the adjacent blocks be freed.
“It was dark and we knew the floor where they were trapped was up there. We moved to the other blocks and managed to free 174 people who had been trapped for close to 12 hours,” said an official.
The team felt that waiting until morning to mount a rescue operation would endanger the lives of those who were trapped because the terrorists would see their movements and strike.
After freeing all the people, a decision was made to make a final push and target where the gang was hiding.
Interestingly, some of the terrorists were communicating with people in Kiambu and Somalia. It is believed their commander was the one talking with Shabaab militants across the border.
He even sent images of victims of the attack to unidentified people in Somalia. He had also talked to a man in Ruaka at the beginning of the attack.
An idea to jam communication at the complex was floated, but some commanders rejected it.

Jam communication

“We felt that by blocking communication we would cause panic among those trapped therein and who were in touch with their loved ones. This idea was defeated and the jammer removed from the scene,” said another official.
At about 4 am, a decision was made to storm the room where the four terrorists were. They had been trapped for some time and the commandos were confident that they were worn out.
The team that was on the seventh floor was in constant communication with their colleagues on the fifth floor. This first team charged first, blowing up the entrance to the sixth floor and into a room where the killers holed
Those at the front held up bulletproof shields as their colleagues sprayed the room with high calibre assault rifles.
In a matter of seconds, the four assailants had been killed. But they had tossed grenades at the officers, which bounced off the shields and back to them. When the grenades exploded, they injured two commandos in the legs.
The injured officers were picked up by their colleagues and are in stable condition in hospital.
The team, through their site commander General Service Unit Commandant Douglas Kanja, reported that the mission was complete.
They allowed other teams to walk through the floors and check for abandoned explosives. Yesterday, one grenade was recovered and taken away for safe detonation.
It also emerged that the decision to deploy the special forces from Recce Squad was made during the initial moments of the attack.
After learning that there were gunshots at the complex, Deputy Inspector General of Police Edward Njoroge was asked to mobilise and put on standby a team to respond to the scene. The initial report and belief was that the attack was a robbery targeting a bank.
But after locals heard huge blasts emanating from the complex, they made calls and sent photos that showed smoke billowing from the complex.
That was when the Recce team was dispatched from Ruiru. Earlier, State House had sent personnel from the presidential guard to provide backup to officers who were first to arrive at the scene. One member of the team was shot and killed by the terrorists.
The response was swift, with Mr Njoroge and Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti taking charge of the operation and Kanja overseeing the active evacuation.

Foreign embassies

Teams from the US, UK and other foreign embassies joined the battle, also providing crucial logistical support.
They helped free dozens of trapped people even as they pushed the terrorists to the upper floors. CCTV footage showed a suicide bomber had walked to the front of the restaurant and detonated his vest, causing confusion. It is not clear how he passed through a security check at the main entrance without the explosive on him being detected.
The terrorist walked and stood in front of Secret Garden restaurant for almost a minute as he tried to detonate his suicide vest. At least two people, including a cook, walked past him. The cook seemed curious about the man’s intentions but walked past him just before he blew himself up.
This marked the beginning of the attack, forcing the building’s occupants to seek escape routes. They were, however, forced to retreat into the building as they came under fire by the gunmen who were then walking away from the main entrance.
A witness, Faith Chepchirchir, said people were trying to run towards the gate after the blast went off, but they turn back.
“I saw everyone who was running towards the gate heading back in the opposite direction. We then closed the doors as bullets were sprayed all over.”
She said the gunmen went to the hotel and took an upper floor, from where they started firing down.
Many civilians remained holed up in the complex for several hours, hiding from the attackers in bathrooms, under tables and chairs, before they were rescued.

I'm just saying,watch this space!

Daejoyoung:
What's this one saying? Aliko's business and net worth has suffered more in this regime than in the previous ones. Stick to what you know, how many times do you see us making guesses or conspiracy theories about the kikuyu's( or whatever their name is) in Kenya or about the Kenyatta political hegemony? The top twenty richest men in Nigeria are dominated by southerners not Northerners, Dangote is simply the richest today because he took the most advantage of Obasanjo's backward integration policies on cement, which you may call monopoly if you like, and Dangote has been in business since 1977.

I'd rather sh*t on my hands and clap than even think of being a Nigerian!

Edodefender:
Kenya, what's that?

It's a privilege being a Nigerian.

The Most powerful black country on the planet.

Our population in next hundred years will equal India and China, we'll be somehow 15% of world population.

We already have mayors, governors in European countries from Nigeria ancestry.

I foresee a Nigerian presidency in Kenya in next 50 years and he'll win it.

The Northern rich men led by men like Aliko would lowkey like to see an unending Northern leadership in Nigeria's statehouse. Buhari is here to stay. It's hard for one being the richest man in a country without being an underground political broker more so in Africa!

rvp2018:
So Kenya fighting Alshabaab in Somalia for 9yrs now is not war.Kicking Alshabab for more than 1000kms in rough somali territory and overthrowing them in Kusmayu is not war.Alshabaab who are mored deadly than BokoHaram.You idiots make strange accusations.its not about how many men or weapon..it's about the discpline and dedication..Boko Haram cannot survive in Chad army coz Chad kick arse.Nigeria army is corrupt.The political northern elite are in same mission with Boko Haram.

Six Reece Officers divided themselves into three three groups.

Three to head inside the building and three to head to probably towards another entrance/exit of the building.

The whole perimeter must be secured! Anyone going in or out the scene of operation must be checked! The officers must spread out to cover more ground. This are the important basics done by Special Forces that one can quickly deduce from studying such a picture!

rvp20183:
You're another Kazikazi. Enrol in English Comprehension classes. And then come & engage me in your puerile talk.

We can read your infantile and nihilist rage after the terrorists you were cheering failed and Kenya reaffirm it's coming of age as mature & respected nation.

You were praying for the worst - but Nairobi demonstrated it very best.

Kenya's feared Isreali trained RECCE SQUAD quickly dispatched your friends to Allah! And saved 700 innocent souls. The cock up in West Gate was caused by Army Commandos shooting a RECCE Squad member dead and they all pulled out. This time everything was meticulous.

And went to have tea in State house less than 24hrs since the crisis started.

Yeah,the 15 million figure should be achieved in like for the next ten years.With the private sector coming in this figure should be like 25m!

rvp20183:
0.5M on average hosting 4 people per household - can only host 2M- which is good start. Eventually gov has to target to build say 3-5M houses before 2030 - social housing like those can host 15-20m. That will eliminate most of the slums and concrete jungles of eastlands. If we build at least 1m in Nairobi and another 4M in other cities & towns before 2030 - we will be fine. It will mostly be re-generating what Brits built - estates like Jericho, Maringo - from single dweller to 10-15 stories flat like you have in China & upgrading the slums. The bulk of Nairobi lower class - will then have proper housing to live in - not rat & lice infested ghettos.

If they provide roads, sewers and light rail to Nairobi metro - Kenya middle class - will move there - athi rivers, kitengela, ngong, machakos, kiambu, muranga and build themselves nice little single dweller houses. They would hope into trains or buses or drive on superhighways to Nairobi and back.

South Africa is on another level,lets face it! 60-70 percent of their populace is under a mortgage plan.This figures compete well with developed countries.I'm a big supporter of the affordable housing scheme.With 500,000 homes to be built under the new scheme,we can easily move like 15 million Kenyans in this homes.We just need a Matiang'i type of guy to make this a reality,but of course it would be a reality if Atwoli gives in with the housing tax deductions.Anyways, I see the government enforcing this.Remember,this are the units being done by the government excluding the private sector.This can be a game changer! We all need decent housing!

rvp20183:
I think the list exclude South Africa. You just like arguing. South Africa is ON ANOTHER LEVEL. I think difference in pop btw Kenya, south Africa and TZ can make for good comparison - 50-60M. Nigeria is 200M gorrilla. Act like one.

I can only get 2017 report. I will look at 2019.

The Reece Squad and the Special Forces did a great job!

He has been killed!

Earthquake1:
Is this not a Fulani man?

Lot's of dirt to clean up at 14 Riverside!

Terrorists deserve no mercy. I bet it's only Nigeria and a handful of a few African countries that can feel what Kenya is going through. It's a bit funny hearing citizens of nations who haven't confronted terrorism think that they can defeat terrorism within a day.No world power has defeated terrorism yet.

abbeg:
Every war has its casualties.We shouldn't make fun of our soldiers when they lose men.That's one thing I don't like about some Nigerians especially ipobists.They laugh when Nigerian soldiers die fighting boko haram.That's just wrong.

Somalia can't be a viable state. All autonomous regions should be given statehood. Jubaland which was created inside Kenya's statehouse should be given recognition of an independent state. That's the only way we can deal with terrorism. Somalis can't exist in a country arrangement,they are more loyal to their clans as opposed to their own country. I don't see project Somalia working but project Jubaland,Puntland and Somaliland can work for the benefit of all Somalis!

rvp2018:
ISIS is not new phenomon. Russia are dealing with it. CIA double dealing is the problem. Anyway right now the biggest threat to region peace is the lack of stable gov in Somali.Somali gov need all the help to stabilize themselves - and I don't see anybody helping them apart from Turkey. The US & UK need to send assist the Somali gov with enough money to be able to fight terror. They also need to stop distrusting kenya intention in Southern Somali and work with KDF to kick the remaining ALshabaab.

The situation is now getting more complex with now the emergence of ISIS in Somalia who are looking to be Al Shabab's headache as they want piece of the Somalia nation too.

rvp2018:
What did you want the soldiers to do. To ran away like you ran from Amin in Kagera and had to get Uganda rebels on the frontline. Kenya soldiers are out in Somali fighting Alshabaab and they have suceeded. This is first major terror attack in Nairobi since 2013/2014. Alshabab territory has shrunk and they are on their way out.
