Nin Nairobi laga xarey oo la helay drone loo waday Beled-Xaawo

Mohamud Hared ayaa Jimcihii lagu qabtay Eastleigh kadib baakad laga helay qalab duulayaal ah

Booliska Kenya ayaa magaalada Nairobi ku xiray nin lagu qabtay diyaarad aan duuliye lahayn oo nooca drone-ka ah, taas oo la sheegay in loo sii waday magaalada Beled-Xaawo ee gobolka Gedo. Tallaabadan ayaa timid iyadoo hay'adaha ammaanku ay kordhiyeen ilaalka xudduudda.

Qabashada iyo Baakadda Laga Helay

Ninka la xiray oo lagu magacaabo Mohamud Hared ayaa Jimcihii lagu qabtay shirkad xamuul oo ku taalla xaafadda Eastleigh ee Nairobi, kadib markii uu halkaas u tagay inuu kala wareego baakad laga soo diray Shiinaha. Baakadda waxaa soo diray qof lagu magacaabo Abdi Kafi.

Shaqaalaha shirkadda xamuulka ay ka shakiyeen kadib markii ay ogaadeen in si adag loo xirxiray, isla markaana aan hore loo caddeyn waxa ku jira. Markii la furay, waxaa gudaha laga helay drone qeybihiisa la kala furfuray iyo qalab kale oo la socda.

Wareejinta iyo Baaritaanka

Maamulka shirkadda xamuulka ayaa kadib la xiriiray booliska, kuwaas oo goobta yimid, isla markaana gacanta ku dhigay Hared. Waxaa loo qaaday saldhigga booliska Pangani si su'aalo loo weydiiyo. Hared ayaa ku bixiyay lacagta adeegga M-Pesa.

Hared ayaa booliyaasha u sheegay in drone-ka loo waday Beled-Xaawo, iyadoo la qorsheynayay in marka hore la geeyo Mandera. Qalabka waxaa Mandera kala wareegi lahaa Yussuf Abdi Abdille oo lagu sheegay inuu deggan yahay magaalada xadka ku taalla.

Walaaca Ammaanka iyo Ujeeddada

Ma cadda sababta drone-ka loo geynayay Beled-Xaawo iyo cidda ugu dambeyn isticmaali lahayd. Booliska Kenya ayaa muujiyay walaac ah in qalabka noocan oo kale ah loo adeegsan karo falal amni-darro, balse ma aysan soo bandhigin caddeyn weerar.

Beled-Xaawo oo dhinaca Soomaaliya kaga beegan Mandera ayaa marin muhiim ah oo isku xira labada dal. Baaritaanka ayaa diiradda saari doona qofka Shiinaha diray, xiriirka Hared iyo ujeeddada drone-ka loogu waday Beled-Xaawo.

Kenya police arrested Mohamud Hared, a Somali national, on Friday at a cargo company in Eastleigh, Nairobi, after he attempted to collect a sealed package from China containing a disassembled drone intended for Beled-Xaawo in Somalia's Gedo region.

Discovery and Arrest at Eastleigh Cargo Facility

Hared, who paid for the shipment via M-Pesa, arrived at the Eastleigh cargo firm to retrieve a tightly sealed parcel whose contents had not been disclosed to staff. Suspicious of the opaque packaging, employees refused to open it without police involvement and alerted authorities instead.

When officers arrived, they found a disassembled drone and accompanying equipment inside the parcel. Hared was taken to the Pangani police station for questioning, where he identified the drone as destined for Beled-Xaawo in Somalia's Gedo region.

Smuggling Route Through Mandera and Unclear End-User

According to Hared, the drone was to be transported first to Mandera on the Kenya-Somalia border, where a man named Yussuf Abdi Abdille was supposed to collect it before forwarding it to Beled-Xaawo. The ultimate user and purpose of the drone remain unknown.

Police are investigating the sender in China, Hared's connection to him, and the role of the Mandera-based recipient. Beled-Xaawo, located on the Somali side of Mandera, is a key transit corridor between the two countries.

Security Concerns and Broader Border Scrutiny

Kenya police have expressed concern that such equipment could be used for security violations, though they have not presented evidence that this specific drone was intended for an attack or terrorist act. The arrest comes amid heightened scrutiny of goods entering the country.

Security agencies have recently intensified inspections of technology and goods destined for border regions, particularly Mandera, due to fears that modern equipment could fall into the hands of armed groups linked to Al-Shabaab.
