MOMBASA, KENYA: The Coast region is going through another cycle of bloody violence, whose exact architects and reason, are still unclear. Huge parts of the Coast, including sections of key towns, are becoming lawless and ungovernable due to the rise of militia and terror groups.

The recent killing of 65 people, including one police officer, in Lamu County has deepened the mysterious raids and caught the police napping, leading to knee-jack reactions by security agencies.
