Last Friday’s surprise attack by Al-Shabaab militias on the El-Adde military camp occupied by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) who are part of the African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom) left an unspecified number of Kenyan soldiers dead and several others nursing serious injuries. The wounded have since been airlifted to hospitals in Nairobi for specialised medical care.
While paying tribute to the fallen soldiers Sunday, Chief of the Defence Forces General Samson Mwathethe promised Kenyans the lives of the dead soldiers will not be in vain. He said the country remains unbowed despite Fridays attack and that the military will spare no effort in tracking and hunting down the attackers until Kenyans get the peace they deserve.
