The state will crush the Mombasa Republican Council with its arsenal, President Uhuru Kenyatta has warned. The MRC, a separatist organisation, wants Coast seceded from Kenya because of political and economic discrimination against indigenous groups. The MRC’s slogan is Pwani si Kenya (Coast isn’t part of Kenya). However, the state has a strong grip on the Coast, Uhuru said. Uhuru warned MRC youth that if they stage attacks, they will be smoked out of their hideouts.
