The Director-General of the National Intelligence Service, Noordin Haji, dropped a bombshell before Parliament on Monday — Kenyan land is under the control of a foreign armed group. Yes, you read that right.
For the first time ever, the head of Kenya’s intelligence openly confirmed that the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) — a notorious rebel militia from Ethiopia — is not just sneaking in, they’ve TAKEN OVER PARTS OF KENYA. This revelation obliterates the government’s earlier downplayed narrative that these were “minor infiltrations.”
“In Ethiopia, the Oromo Liberation Army is occupying our land… we cannot ignore this anymore,” Haji declared, visibly emotional and unfiltered as he addressed the stunned members of the National Assembly’s Defence and Foreign Relations Committee.
This explosive admission marks a dramatic shift in Kenya’s official stance on the worsening crisis at the border. Where once there was denial, there is now alarming confirmation: Kenya is being invaded.
And it doesn’t stop there.
Haji laid out a grim reality — cross-border incursions are spiraling out of control. From Uganda, cattle-raiding militias like the Karamojong are crossing in freely. From South Sudan, the flow of illegal arms is escalating. And from Ethiopia? Armed rebels with an agenda — and now, territory.
Interestingly, Haji made no mention of Tanzania, implying the southern neighbor is currently not among the threats. Still, he warned: “Kenya is surrounded.”
Fighting Erupts in Moyale
Moyale, a volatile town near the Ethiopia border, has become the epicenter of clashes between Kenyan forces and suspected OLA fighters. Once brushed off as minor breaches, these incidents have now turned into full-scale combat, confirming the group’s entrenched presence.
The situation has triggered the launch of a massive military crackdown — Operation Ondoa Jangili — targeting militant strongholds in Isiolo and Marsabit, counties long plagued by cross-border violence and criminal networks tied to the OLA.
Who Are the OLA?
Operating from Ethiopia’s conflict-ridden Oromia region, the Oromo Liberation Army has built a brutal reputation — known for kidnappings, assassinations, and guerrilla warfare. Addis Ababa has long labeled them a destabilizing force. Now, they’re bringing that chaos to Kenyan soil.
The question now looms large: How did this happen right under our noses?
Kenya may have just crossed the line from border insecurity to territorial loss.
More updates to follow as this developing crisis unfolds.
