Kenya: When former US Ambassador to Kenya ,Michael Ranneberger warned our government against sending youth of ethnic Somali from Kenya to join the fight against Al shabaab,many Kenyan politicians bashed him.
Ignoring the advice given by allies such as the US ,our government went on and trained a number of young Kenyan Somalis then sent them to Somalia. Mr.Ranneberger expressed concerns that the move by the then government led by President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga was ill fated citing that the same recruits would return as terrorists.
