Even when the black sheep is innocent, no one will ever accept.

The Eastleigh grenade attack will obviously have a repercussion, a great one indeed, Somalis have to bear the brunt of the attack.

Somalis in Eastleigh have in the past suffered from constant police harassment and abuse. Every refugee living in this Nairobi neighbourhood has a story about being hassled by the police and threatened with arrest and detention.



Possibly by now the finger is pointing towards the Somalis community in Eastliegh. As has been the case, the community in Eastleigh should brace for a major police crackdown whether or not they are innocent.

Of course the Sobbing Somali is very much concerned over the death and injuries of the innocent police officers. I condemn any such barbaric act in the strongest terms.

and for now the black sheep cannot turn its tail.
