ʻOiai e hana nui ana ma Somalia, ʻo al-Shabaab, kahi hui extremist / militant e pili ana i ka al-Qaʻida, ʻo ia ka manaʻo hoʻoweliweli / hoʻoweliweli mua ma Kenya a ua hōʻike i ko lākou hiki a me ka manaʻo e hana i nā hoʻouka kaua. aupuni Kenyan nā pūʻali palekana, nā makaʻāinana, a me nā makemake o ke Komohana ma Kenya, me nā kahua mokulele pūʻali koa, ma kahi kokoke i ka palena hikina o Kenya me Somalia a ma ke kahakai ʻo Kenya e pili ana me Somalia.

ʻO Ianuali 5, 2020, ka hoʻouka kaua paʻakikī ma Camp Simba, kahi i hui pū ʻia me Manda Bay Airport (HKLU), luku a hōʻino paha i nā mokulele he nui, ua make ʻekolu mau mea i make, a ua hōʻike i ka manaʻo a me ka hiki o al-Shabaab ke kuhikuhi i ka ʻāpana mokulele.

Loaʻa iā Al-Shabaab, a loaʻa paha i nā mea kaua like ʻole, me nā lima liʻiliʻi; nā mea kaua ahi ʻole, e like me nā morta a me nā pōhaku; a me nā mea kaua e hiki ai ke kū i ka mokulele, me nā ʻōnaehana pale ea kanaka lawe lima (MANPADS). Hiki i ia mau mea kaua ke hoʻopaʻa i nā mokulele ma nā wahi haʻahaʻa, e like me ka wā o ka hōʻea ʻana a me ka haʻalele ʻana o ka lele, a / a i ʻole nā mokulele mokulele a me nā mokulele ma ka ʻāina, ʻoi aku hoʻi ma nā kahua mokulele ma ka hikina o 40 degere hikina longitude. Hiki i kekahi MANPADS ke hiki i kahi kiʻekiʻe o 25,000 kapuaʻi.

ʻOiai ʻo nā hana palekana a Kenya, hoʻomau ʻo al-Shabaab i ka hoʻolālā ʻana i nā hoʻouka kaua kiʻekiʻe ma Kenya, e like me ka hōʻike ʻana e ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o Ianuali 2019 ma ka pūhui DusitD2 a me ka hoʻouka kaua 2013 ma Westgate Mall. Ma waho aʻe o nā hoʻouka kaua kiʻekiʻe, ua alakaʻi ʻo al-Shabaab i nā hoʻouka liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi e kūʻē i nā pahuhopu i hoʻokumu ʻia i ka ʻāina ma Kenya hikina ma ka palena palena ʻo Kenya-Somalia.

Ua haʻi aku ʻo Al-Shabaab i ko lākou manaʻo e hana i nā hoʻouka kaua no ka hoʻopaʻi ʻana i nā hana counterterrorism a Kenya ma Somalia, a Kenya e alakaʻi ai ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Hiki ke hoʻoikaika ʻia ʻo AlShabaab ma hope o ko lākou hoʻouka kaua ʻana ma Ianuali 2020 ma Camp Simba a hoʻāʻo paha e hana hou i kēia mau hana ma nā kahua mokulele mamao. Ma Somalia e pili ana, ua alakaʻi ʻo al-Shabaab i nā hoʻouka kaua he nui e pili ana i nā mokulele kīwila, me ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana i ka honua ma Aden Adde International Airport (HCMM) a me nā mea kaua e kūʻē i ka pūʻali koa a me nā mokulele kīwila e hana ana ma nā wahi haʻahaʻa. Mālama ʻo Al-Shabaab i ka hiki ke hoʻomohala i nā mea pahū huna huna (IEDs) a me ka manaʻo e hoʻohana iā lākou e kūʻē i nā mokulele kīwila, e like me ka hōʻike ʻia e ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana ma Daallo Airlines Flight 159 i Pepeluali 2016, e pili ana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi mea ʻokoʻa e kōkua i ka hoʻopio ʻana i kahi mokulele. huna IED ma ka mokulele.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

While primarily active in Somalia, al-Shabaab, an al-Qa'ida-affiliated extremist/militant group, is the predominate extremist/militant threat concern in Kenya and has demonstrated their capability and intent to conduct attacks targeting Kenyan government security forces, civilians, and Western interests in Kenya, including joint military airfields, primarily near Kenya's eastern border with Somalia and in the coastal region of Kenya adjacent to Somalia.
Despite Kenya's security efforts, al-Shabaab continues to plot high-profile attacks in Kenya, as demonstrated by the January 2019 attack on the DusitD2 compound and the 2013 attack on the Westgate Mall.
Such weapons could target aircraft at low altitudes, including during the arrival and departure phases of flight, and/or target airports and aircraft on the ground, especially at airfields located east of 40 degrees east longitude.
