🇰🇪Not Yet Kenyan | Al Jazeera Correspondent 

Am very very sorry my Somali brothers/sisters. Despite all, us on the ground love you people very much. We Kikuyus actually classify you as business comrades. We salute you.

Having a father who never saw the four walls of a school educating his children to be someone in the society like you is great may he live long to enjoy his hard work.

Mohammad Adow, the Aljazeera correspondent made me to cry at the end of this clip, I'm neither Somalian nor Kenyan but a human...

Totally heartbreaking. As a fellow kenyan i'm disappointed.

Amazing documentary history will stay with us I will teach this to my children and grandchildren inshallah. Somali Kenyan and Somalian will always be Somali. Somali Ha Nolaato Somali Ha Nolaato Somali Ha Nolaato.

wagala wajir masacare happened to my community, i lost uncles, we need justice. may Allah grant them janatul fardosa

watching the fifth time.... never get tired of watching thank you Mohamed adow for showing the world how Somalis are being treated in northern part of Kenya

after i watched this merciless video and how my own people was tortured by Corrupted Government of Kenya since the independence (1960), i really knew that, there is no what is called somali kenyans, but there is Somali and Kenya which is two neighboring countries, thanks M.Adow for your letting every one to know the reality.

Deeqow Malim Sanbul, I salute you and all the patriotic heroes of NFD, Past Somalis governments are to be blamed partially for not assisting enough for NFD to be liberated from hyena state of kenya. Sooner or later, the day would come when Somalis will be united under one flag with its shinning star and its blue color as the sky. Insha Allah, May Allah shower his mercy for those who have been killed and mistreated and humiliated because of who they are, proud Somalis.

WALALAYAAL, we are all Somali, we will unite once again. Be strong NFD IS SOMALI and so is Somali galbeed

I can't believe I knew so little about my own Kenyan people

This clip by Mohamed Adow is excellent and should be required viewing for all Kenyans as we celebrate 50 years. Until we are honest about the past -- historical grievances will continue to haunt us…

very painful story... May GOD bless your work MOHAMED ADOW. I respect you a lot.

I was really saddened by this documentary, i got emotional. I love my county and all the people of my country. i grew up with somalis, both Kenyan and and Somalians. None of them showed violence, hatred or inhumane behavior. Sorry my brothers. Terrorism is the problem, not a tribe or religion.

This is one best clips for Kenyan Somalis. I wish everyone will have some few minutes to hear the stories directly from the horse mouth. Mohamed Adow is our inspiration.

"A country we call it our own" 😭😭😭 Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice evrywhere

As Somalis, we will never forget what kenya had done to our brothers in North-eastern regoin----and as we unite, we will stand for their reunion with us. kenya's turn comes soon!!!

InshaAllah 😭😭😭 We love you our Somali brother. May Allah grant you all peace in your hearts

ALLAH IS WITH YOU MY SOMALI BROTHERS &SISTER

I'm busy watching documentaries about Kenya's security problems. This one stands out because it presents both sides of the story about Kenyan Somalis and the gov. Accountability, cohesion, and the need for much needed peace should lead us all to a unified Kenya. I'm shocked that my country has such internal horrors😭😭

Kikuyu and Kalenjin ruling class have really destroyed Kenya!!! if they keep up with these injustices against kenyan citizens then kenya will finally break into smaller countries!!!

Moved to tears ;-( This is so heart-wrenching

Watching from Tanzania, the documentary coverage is phenomenal and has opened my eyes in so many ways.

So sad.. it brought tears to my eyes...Thank you so much Mr. Adow .. the word is out there... Justice shall prevail. You have no choice where you are born. Nobody consult you where you call home. Home sweet home... no matter what you do, what you are... home is always home. But we have a choice.. choice of what kind of person you want to be. Be proud of who you are!! You are created different for a purpose!! LET'S US SPEAK OUT!! LET JUSTICE BE OUR DEFENDER AND SHIELD!! The word is out.... aluta continua

The NFD saga is part of a bigger geopolitical play. What is undeniable: 1) For centuries northern Muslim and Arab traders treated Sub-saharan Africans with extreme racism. Facilitating the slave trade...and creating a situation where Islam was gradually crawling from the north and making a significant gain with each generation. 2) Western missionaries and powers started to seed Christianity in the African interior with the aim to stop the spread of Islam further into the continent. With the current power structure, the best course of action for Somalis in this region is to embrace a secular nation and take a seat on the table....confrontation is just going to make your position weaker.

This made me cry .... Thanks bro for bringing out this .... This discrimination of higher order... 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪💔💔💔

The Kenyan government is working tirelessly to bring peace to the country,our Somali brothers have something strong hidden_bonding that they can not tell who is the terrorist.on the other hand when the innocent non Somalian Kenyan civilians are killed by the terrorists who root fro Somalian tribe no one criticizes ,so as the loss of the Kenyan soldiers and civilians so is the Somalians ,pain on both sides.

The thing is, We Somali's have our land & people conquered by 3 European empires & that are now divided & living in 4 different nations, 1.) Somalia for starters ( Partially conquered by Italy & the British empire ), 2.) Kenya has a large portion of land belonging to the Somali people, Which compromises of 3 counties, ' Garissa, Mandela & Wajir ( Which was a territory craved out of Jubaland Somalia, The Northern half belonged to Italy & The southern to the British Empire = NDF ) ', Ethiopia has the whole of province, Which is 'Ogaden', A large territory also belonging to the Somali people & you then have, Djibouti ( Conquered by the French ), Which is now a nation of it's own also inhabited by the Somali people. Now, it isn't wise to dwell on the past but the roots of these conflicts can be traced all the way back to these incompetent colonialist that conquer lands & cede lands to one another & later on give independence to nations without solving the issue of ' How to properly divide the lands between the ethic peoples of their colony so as to prevent future misunderstandings ' & purposely turn a blind eye to the statistical data of the amount of ethnics living in one area, Which in-turn leads to a state of disharmony between the two different peoples living within that vicinity whenever a problem brews ! A plead to reunite greater Somalia should be a motive brought to the U.N once Somalia regains economic & political stability !

Kenyan Somalis must know this is also their country and they must work with other countrymen to make the country safe and prosperous. We cant let foreigners destroy what we built.

I am a kenyan (not of somali origin), I appreciated this documentary and I believe as kenyans this mentality of accept and move on, or forgive and forget won't do us any good if we don't acknowledge the atrocities that have taken place in our country. from the wagallah massacre, to PEV to many others. Its also easy to see why a kenyan somali would feel mistrust towards the kenyan government.

As a Kenyan, I'm ashamed. As a Kikuyu, I'm appalled.

Sad story I never knew happened to my people good work Mr adow May Allah bless your work

A lot of blood has been shed in these lands, a lot of pain and suffering. I pray for no more pain , no more suffering. Kenya PLEASE, no more PAIN, no more SUFFERING.

one day the truth will prevail and we will get our revenge not only in Kenya but every where a Somali was mistreated especially in Kenya and Ethiopia and we will find peace between us in all over the horn of Africa.

all in all. peace be in somalia.

Adow. Thank u for This historicaly job. God is always with u. Blood = blood .

Great! Such documentaries are much welcomed

This brought tears to my eyes. I hope some day this will be folklore in a world our descendants will never believe this could happen. (Edit: I cried at the end 😭)

i feel like crying the whole day when i watch this video...

Extremely sad; we will never forget. Kenya will pay back all the Somali blood they split for fun

Kenyans we should be incredibly ashamed of ourselves...a Kikuyu is not more important than a Somali, a Luo is not any better than an Oromo. As a Kamba/Kikuyu, I am disgusted at how our government and society exploits North Eastern communities...Kenya is not anymore mine than my Somali counterpart's

may Allah Guide all of us IN SHAA ALLAH, so sad

I've seen you report on AJE for years, but to see your personal story is wow

We are proud of our somali journalists Mohamed Ali and Mohamed Hassan Adow...Well done...Our heros

that guy called mutua I know ,he Is like a brother to most garisians, he lived in garissa all his live ,studied there high school, he was even teaching in garissa, no one from garissa will hurt him except an outsider (al shabab)

heartbreaking Every Somali who watches this must cry!!!! sorry about that :(

Check out the dads gray eyes, red hair, red beard. Black people, black people i love my blk people. We come in all different shades of brown. Just beautiful

this is very sad documentary and it reminds us the fact that North Eastern community are second hand citizens. Kenyan govt treated inhumanly to Somali people as this video shed on light. Really i couldn't hold my tears as I watched this video. My Allah protect somali people and muslims as a whole. We will revenge on all perpetrators and evil doers. May Allah bless us all. Thank you Mohamed Addow for your heartfelt correspondency.

This is how the government of Kenya treated us. Every Somali who watches this must cry!!!!

I think its time we need back our Great Somalia Land

Mimi ni msomali halisi. Damu ni nzito kuliko maji. Inauma sana na inanikera sana kumuoana jinsi wasomali wakenya wavyo teswa na kuonewa na serkali ya Kenya. mimi bado ninaamini ya kwamba hawa watu wanatawaliwa na wakenya. kwa ukweli mtoto wa nyoka ni nyoka, msomali ni msomali tu awe msomali mkenya au wa ethopia lakini kinachonishangaza ni ya kwamba watu hawa ambao bado wanatawaliwa, kunnyanyaswa, nakuuwawa, na wake zao kubakwa mbele yao na bado wanangangania kuwa wao ni wakenya. mkubali kuwa nyinyi ni wakoloni wa wakenya na bado hamja bata uhuru wenu. Nampongeza mwandishi huyu msomali jinsi alivyoweka wazi hali halisi ya wasomali hao. Great job.

Mohamed Adow and Aljazeera have unearthed what most Somalis knew over the years, this time in graphic details. Throughout the 47 minute this heartbreaking documentary was running, my eyes were wet with unstoppable tears and I am sure many, many Somalis felt the same way. You only need to see the cynical remarks of the minister who masterminded the waqala massacre in Wajer in the mid eighties to see how Kenyan officials have utter comtempt for Somali people in the middest. It may not happen within our lifetime, but one day what is called Somali-kenyans will, no shadow of doubt, become Somali-Somalis. As the saying goes, nobody remains a winner for every, and this more befitting to the colonial benefiteers - Ethiopia and Kenya.

😭😭😭😭 by Allah this documentary left me in tears. why are we being subjected to all kinds of inhumane acts in our own country? God bless you our son #MohamedAdow for unveiling the untold sufferings of our people.

It's a lot more interesting having a reporter who was born and raised in the country he's reporting in. Thank you for sharing your memories!

Healing will only be felt only if authoritarianism, stereotype, and impunity is addressed

So Kenya went to war with its own people. How they can I say, 'Najivunia kuwa mkenya'? Honestly Kenya is not a place to be, coz even as we speak they think we are the enemy within and term us terrorists. But in reality we are Kenyan somalis and we have no apologies to make. Viva Mohamed Adow and Aljazeera; Journalism at its best!

Come to Tanzania 🇹🇿 please, our Somalia 🇸🇴 community here is thriving

Iam Somali living in wajir near the very place where this genocide took place. Venoms of revenge still burns in our heart. We only wait for our Somali government to have stability, and Kenyan robbing of Somalian sea is refreshing our wounds.

This is very sad. Heartbreaking to say the least. I pray this town finds peace

It is the nature of human race to feel the pain and suffer when outsiders cause harm, but when there is no outsider they kill each other off and eat each other's flesh. as a Somali we ought to use such documenteries as a reminder to what/who we are to each other. To put a side the differences and work together for greater brighter and united Somalia. It is an eye opening to see such atrocities committed by your own suppose government, but sad to see many of you go back your routine ' this is from that clan that is from this clan, I don't like them and I don't like you'. wake up my fellow Somalis and unite.

We are Kenyans and also Somalis. simple. you guys grow up and stop the hatred

Amazing documentary, thnx bro for everythg may Allah Bleesses u and THE entire somali community justice will avail one time inshaAllah. NYWELE mgumu malipo ni hapa hapa duniani.

The comments here are disheartening. To think that people commenting are young, educated and probably more exposed than the average Kenyan is astonishing.

I am somali and i know this is propaganda. Aljazeera you can do better then this.

This is touching, investigative and brings into light a lot which have been hidden for along time, I wish the international community responds to this Horrible acts of inhumanity...... Surely this will impact on the perpetrators, Insiders and funders of this Inhumanity. May Allah Have Mercy on the Deceased and In Sha Allah We shall have Justice... not from the corrupt Govt and United Nation agencies but from the Almighty Allah. God Bless you Mohamed Adow.

injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

I'm Kenyan and thank you for bringing up these atrocities. It is bad it happened or maybe it continues to happen. I can see you full of anger which is understandable My question why you keep asking Kenyan cititzen if they're Kenyan. ? Aren't you surprised that none of them identified themselves as Somalis. I'm actually touched when despite the sufferings they strongly identify themselves as Kenyans. The Kenyan government has a lot to do to address this sort of inequality. But then all terrorists acts are committed by one community why! ? You should condemn that equally too. Government resorts to collective punishment because the community would most unlikely harbour terrorists than give them to security forces Ain't condone collective punishment but what do you expect the government to do? I hope so nice out Somali brothers and sisters join East Africa Community some of this if not all issues raised will be addressed .Thank you for highlighting what happened. I've really learned a lot

It is indeed so painful but the Somali community too has to sit down and do lots of introspection and self reflection. The Somali community has lost its identity and as we speak the Somali community can be considered the most despised people on the globe but we are happy with that so that we can get opportunities to be admitted into the western corridors and lose ourselves completely. Our problems will never be solved unless we become part of the solution! Every individual has a role to play.

No offence but when talking about terror attacks on Kenya why didn't you say that the perpetrators are all Somali including Garrissa Uni etc

Very touching....thanks adow for the story....hope one day all this be behind us....allahu akbar

This is the most biased reporting I have come across. When government officers are killed by civilians in any region throughout Kenya, the same cruelty is meted out by the security forces. It is not just to Somalis.

I'm a Kenyan from Western province, I'm very much sorry for what has happened to the people of north eastern Kenya. Successive regimes haven't learned how to deal with a society and country build on clans and tribes as it's social and economic fabric, this ought to be a strength, it's not a weakness but rath it's exploited for political gain.

I Now understand why we as kenya continue to face more battles that can be avoided, we should all be one and love as one. Weather Somali or whichever ethnic group we are one

too late to discover such injustices, such killings.....da same happens in ethiopia.....ol ds happens while da said somali kenyans dea nxt kins r top officials in gvt.........ministers, mps, military ap chiefs...grt lawyers....in judiciary.........lets blame ourselves then comes da gvt role....

Brilliant documentary that made me shed tears 😪Mohamed Adow thank you for bringing the facts into the light. Glad that the reassurance of President Uhuru Kenyatta after the attack of Westgate Mall came to pass . now we live in harmony "One nation One People ". May the Almighty grant eternal peace in the grave to the victims of such atrocities and heal the family members 🤲

fact really revealed and i almost cried

These people really love playing the victim card.

very touching documentary...well done correspondent...

adow has done brilliant job but i think what we have watched is an illusion because there no such thin as somali kenyan but somali as somalian and that land belongs to somalia full stop.

bring more more mohamed..tell the world more, for sure they have done alot of unforgettables to us,

i think the only solution to this problem in north eastern kenya is a great somalia unity the people might think the greater somali republic idea has been long burried but i assure you all the idea still exist and next time we try to unite the 5 parts we do it properly...i dont see the diffrence between muqdisho and wajeer but we all can see whit our bare eyes the diffrence betwen Garrisa and nairobi.

This is so chilling to see and hear. As a society we need to do and be better. I am sorry Mohammed.

I have not lost one minute of sleep over this clip. How do you describe when the very same people who are complaining about Kenyan government have done the same thing to their Somali brethren in Kismayo?.. Over one hundred fifty men and women were slaughtered in Kismayo,Somalia recently by thugs who hailed from Ogaden tribesmen in North Eastern Kenyan. Mohamed Ado's cry was an act at its best.

Mohamed Adow, sorry to what happen to you, your family, you city and your Somali kenyan community; It really made me cry with you, as I remembered many tragedies happen to Somali kenyans. I really hate kenyans as a people and nation. It is a hyena state. The animosity between Somalis and kenyans are deep and will never be healed until the same amount of kenyan's blood shed for revenge to let them taste the for what they did to Somalis in kenya, then they would understand what justice means for us.

I think the United Nations has to rethink the geographical gamuts called countries in Africa. Most tribes and ethnic groups are not will to continue to live together as one nation. The obvious differences in ideologies and immiscible codes of existence makes it mind bugging to see these people still being forced to pledge allegiances to democratic arrangements called countries. These are unholy marriages that failed before they were ever contracted. They will continue to remain recipes for disaster until the needful is done.

really that is sad what happen in north Eastern kenya , the history is not hidden that is genocide ,that was starting in before 1960 and all water system was adding in toxic . I will wish the justice will back, somali community will never forget that.

When our Kenyan army and police forces start serving their people instead of the government officials....that's when Kenyans will truly be indipendent but sadly that doesnt seem anywhere close :(

justice will prevail inshaallah

This is a disgrace to journalism. This piece is completely biased and one eyed

wallahay this video is so sad I am very sorry thank you mohamed adow you are brave of brave keep in mind

Walahi markaan arko arinta nocan oo kale ah waxan ku fakaraa midowga somalia .Anigu somaliland baan ka imi lakiin dee waxaax oo kale markaad aragto ayaad is odhanaysaa yaa buufiya dhamaan waxa dhinacyada inaga xiga Nacaalaa idinka iyo hooyadiinba ku yaall

Adaw you are my hero well done

I am an african like you. Almost thesame age. The history of our generation is that of indepence from colonialism and of conflicts between the local people. Colonialism had only one goal. Teritory. Cutural or tribal systems of life did not count. Its not only in kenya. It happened everywhere. Today there're somany unresolved conflicts arising from Colonailism and Independence. However, "it is stupid that kenyian somalis prefare to hide criminals in their mist at the detrimement of their p'ple".

Long live Somalia I pray for your people one day you will have peace. ✌️

Sad...you force a community to be part of you then you marginalize and mistreat them. We need to address this historical injustices seriously.

Great to see Al Jazeera having a local journalist, personally effected and game enough to speak to so many key people involved. Brilliant insight!

I'm Just busted into tears

I think The only solution is that All Somali raced communities unite and fight back together. Don't expect justice From Sankudhuudhi..

I have just searched for Kenya and four AJ videos can up. Non of them positive about Kenya. Actually I have never seen anything positive about Kenya from Mohamed Adow. I think you have a vendetta with Kenya and should not be allowed to live hear. Doesnt matter if you are kenyan. You hate the place go find a better place to live.

Priceless context.
