The army just arrived in Mombasa because a tall building started falling apart. Military teams came after officials published special papers on April 7. The big eleven-floor structure at Kilifi Corner began breaking down last week. Houses plus shops near this damaged spot face real danger as foundations sink into the ground. Our laws let the government call these soldiers when regular rescue teams need help with big problems.
Security teams asked everyone living close by to leave their homes right away. The breaking building sits on Fayaz Estate next to Abdel Nasser Road. Defence leader Soipan Tuya signed papers making this army help legal. Teams plan to knock down the entire structure tomorrow during an eight-hour job. Anyone who stays nearby might feel loud booms shake through the air. These powerful sound waves can hurt your ears if you remain close during the teardown process.
Governor Abdulswamad Sheriff Nassir warned people to stay far from the danger zone. He wants everyone at least 1.2 kilometers away when work starts. All sick patients from Makadara Hospital must be moved to safer places before any walls fall. The medical staff already began taking these steps yesterday. Workers tearing down the walls will wear special ear covers and safety helmets. The governor listed several areas where people should avoid: the Markiti market area, the Buxton neighborhood, and the City Blue section.
Military experts brought special equipment designed for careful demolition work. The building first showed problems when deep cracks appeared across support beams. Floor levels shifted last Tuesday as the foundation sank into soft ground. Local police have blocked roads around the danger area since April 2. Shop owners grabbed what they could carry before leaving the unsafe zone. Emergency planners expect dust clouds plus noise when walls come crashing down tomorrow.
The government chose army help because regular teams lacked the proper tools for such a dangerous job. Breaking apart such a tall structure requires careful planning. Workers must cut through steel beams without causing sudden collapses. Heavy machines arrived yesterday on army trucks from nearby bases. Weather forecasts show clear skies tomorrow, which helps safety teams see better during the entire demolition process. Experts carefully studied which parts need removal first before any work begins.
