Wounded KDF heroes left in the cold back home to fight new battles

Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldiers, who braved bullets, explosions, and ambushes and got injured in battle are now standing alone — abandoned — after suffering injuries on the frontline. 

More than 350 KDF personnel, once among the 4,000 who braved the battlegrounds of Somalia — risking their lives and future for their country — now find themselves forgotten. Sinking deeper into despair dying, they feel forsaken by the institution they trusted for protection and served with zeal, even as they once raised the Kenyan flag high.
