Then what? More and more body bags keep leaving Somalia back to Kenya. It's time we set a time table on leaving Somalia to another AU country to fill the void and man our bounderies.

Also what is the role of the UN in this somali nonsense. Ama kazi yao is giving food to refugees at daadab while operating and commuting from leafy runda?

What are their interests?

To fish on one end of their expansive coastline and to dump toxic waste on the other end

Because Al Shaitan are not interested in peace. However they are largely interested in making a lot of money via smuggling legal and illegal items. They make millions of $$$ just like ISIS makes hundreds of millions smuggling oil. Do not be fooled that they are doing this for Islam. Its about money. The fools are those who go to fight for ISIS and Shaitan thinking that they are fighting for some caliphate.

Yep, zungs eyeing oil.
Exploiting clan rivalry in som.
But dumping of toxic and medical waste (rem the 2006 Tsunami where barrels were washed ashore?) is done by organized gangs (read mafia) and illegal merchant fishing by opportunistic fishermen aware there's no gava - in effect its actually rape of a sick country.

We could all abandon somalis to their devices but their gava is very weak and cant exert its influence all over the country - meaning vast swathes are lawless lands which alkefafu (a criminal enterprise) controls, and with them desperately jostling for attention from savage groups it means it becomes a national security thing to us to have isis,alqaeda,etc in our backyard. Worse they would forment trouble with our muslim population.

So we leave it like that with all these manner of creepy crawlies of religiously bigots and they start using these lands as their training grounds with us he neighbourhood chums across the street as their target practice.

And nyet, other African countries have flatly refused to deploy, meaning current troop-contributing nations are as stretched as a poko's main tool in trade at end month.

The EU is financing AMISOM - actually one of the reasons Burundi n Ug are in the mix, juu si wanapata USD? Even us we get refunded and we howl like there's no kesho when its delayed - they refund us for use of our equipment so likely we will get refunded all those military vehicles destroyed.

But the country is slowly inching to stability with diasporans returning and real estate pickin up.With alkefafu out of the way and peace restored more can be achieved.

Me thinks UN should take it up though.

I salute the fallen soldiers as I wish the injured timely recovery.
Now in this thread I note three groups of leanings. Group one and two though their views contrast in strategy, their interest are solidly behind our troops. Group three seems to be more sympathetic to Somali interest!
Group One; are those who take the view that our troops should be undaunted by terrorists - hence need to stay in Somalia till the job is done.

The second group feels that it doesnt serve our best interest to continue being in Somalia.

The third group, bidding for Somalis - wants our troops out so that the the Somalis may be "free"!

Wait until you are told you are in group 3 by Nandwa and Luttz. I'm 100% sure that they don't even know the name of even one of the soldiers that were killed. But heck, they are very patriotic.
