Somalia Army: Garissa Update

The government maintains that it is not aware of any clandestine operation to recruit Kenyan youths of Somali origin to join the Somali military in war torn Somalia. According to police spokesman Eric Kiraithe, whatever was happening in Garissa could just be an operation to round up illegal immigrants from Somalia. But the council of imams and preachers has called for thorough investigations on the reports saying the situation could present a major security threat to Kenya. Olivia okech reports

what does the kenya government do for the local youths,nothing. Even the civil servants are not somalis.like the police officer talking in this video. That's why I keep saying THIS LAND BELONGS TO SOMALIA

The somalis have awsome uniforms literally

They are fighting for their country. If NFD wasn't kenya, they would certainly have fought for Somalia.

Kenya needs to support the local tribes in Kismayu in establishing a regional administration like Puntland and Somaliland as a defence against terrorism. Al-Shabaab is growing because they get taxes from the port of kismayu and they get arms and fighters shipped through the port. Helping the Darod tribes take back their city would be a fatal blow against Al-shabaab and terrorists in the region and would stop the flow of arms and refugees into Kenya. Refugees in kenya are 90% from Kismayu area.
