Marekani yaishambulia IS licha ya onyo

Majeshi ya Marekani yameendelea kuwashambulia wapiganaji wa Islamic State huko Iraq licha ya vitisho kutoka kwa kundi hilo kuwa watawaua mateka wengine wamarekani iwapo Obama angeendelea kuishambulia himaya hiyo kaskazini mwa Iraq.
Majeshi ya Marekani kwa ushirikiano na ndege zisizikuwa na marubani zilifanya mashambulizi 14 usiku wa kuamkia leo.
Mashambulizi kumi na manne ya angani yamefanyika katika eneo karibu na bwawa la Mosul na yalilenga kuwasaidia wanajeshi wa Iraq na wa kikurdi.
Bwawa la Mosul lililotekwa kutoka kwa wapiganaji wa IS
Maafisa wajeshi la Marekani wamesema kuwa walifaulu kulipua magari ya kijeshi na vitu vingine vilivyokuwa vikitumiwa na wapiganaji wa IS .
Tarifa kutoka kwa wakurdi zinasema kuwa ndege ambazo hazina rubani zilikuwa angani kuwalinda wanajeshi Wakurdi wakati wapiganaji wa Pesh Merga wakisukumwa katika milima, kusini mashariki mwa bwawa kubwa la Mosul, ambalo lilitwaliwa tena kutoka kwa wapiganaji wa kiislamu wiki hii.
Pentagon imethibitisha kuwa mashambulizi kumi na manne ya angani yalifanywa katika sehemu hiyo kuliko bwawa na kuyalenga magari kadhaa ya kijeshi na vitu vingine.
Televisheni ya taifa ya Iraq imesema kuwa ndege hizo za vita za Marekani zilikuwa pia zimetekeleza mashambulizi katika kambi za magaidi mkoani al-Anbar hadi magharibi mwa Baghdad, na zilikuwa zimetoa ulinzi wa angani kwa vikosi vya serikali vilivyokuwa vikielekea kuwakabili waasi wa kisuni.
Majeshi ya Iraq yakielekea kukabiliana na wanamgambo wa Islamic State
Awali makao kuu ya Jeshi la Marekani limesema kuwa wanajeshi la kitengo maalum walijaribu kumuokoa mwanahabari James Foley na waamerika wengine walioshikwa mateka nchini Syria.
Habari hii imetolewa baada ya video ya aliyetekwa nyara novemba 2012 nchini Syria kuonyeshwa akiuawa kikatili na wanamgambo wa Kiislamu kutokea jumapili .
Wanamgambo hao walisema mauaji yake ilikuwa kulipiza kisasi dhidi ya Marekani kwa sababu ya kuwashambulia wapiganaji wao hewani Iraq.
Mwandishi aliyeuawa na kundi la IS
Rais wa Marekani Barack Obama alikashifu mauaji hayo na kuwalinganisha wanamgambo hao na ugonjwa wa saratani na kuwa itikadi zao hazikuwa na mwelekeo aliendelea kuwa kusema tendo hilo lilishtua ulimwengu mzima
Umoja wa kitaifa ,uingereza na wengine pia wameeleza huzuni yao kutokana na video hiyo.
Mamake Bwana Foley Diane alisema kuwa mwanawe aliaga dunia kwa niaba ya watu wa Syria.
Kamati inayolinda wanahabari ilisema ina wasi wasi kwa wanahabari wote waliozuiliwa na wanamgambo hawa na kusema wanahabari wajiepushe na Syria.

Kenya is safe, Obama's sister tells America Read more at: http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2000134779/Kenya-kenya-is-safe-obama-s-sister-tells-america?utm_source=sarah-okuoro&utm_campaign=september&utm_medium=st

US President Barack Obama’s step sister Dr Auma Obama has advised the Kenya government to open a negotiation forum with foreign countries, which issued travel ban against the country over in security. Dr Obama, who is the Managing Trustee of Sauti Kuu, an organisation that trains youth on wealth creation within rural areas, told the world and Americans that Kenya is a safe place. “At first I felt threatened when I came for holiday in Mombasa from Germany but after staying here for six days I felt safe,” she said adding most of security incidents reported about Kenya are isolated and should not scare tourists. Dr Obama spoke yesterday at Severin Hotel after meeting Mombasa philanthropists to share with them experiences she had learnt in other parts of the World. “What one reads or hears outside is totally different from what is on the ground. As far as I am concerned, Kenya is still the best tourist destination in the world,” said Dr Obama. “As a Kenyan who lives abroad, I feel some of these incidents are overblown by international media because when I am here, I don’t see what I read while I am in Germany,” she said. She said after her own assessment after visiting various places in Coast, she is convinced that Kenya is not a dangerous country after all. She said there was enough security in Mombasa: “I have seen enough security personnel in the beaches I visited. I am surprised to see a different situation from media reports.” See also: How Uhuru plans to counter terror a year after deadly raid She said her organisation which operates in Western region was imparting knowledge to the youth to learn skills on how to create wealth. She said there was enough wealth in rural areas adding that people need to discard the old belief that one can only become rich by moving to urban areas: “Western parts of Kenya experiences good climate and has fertile soil which need to be tapped for better livelihoods.”
