I watched the video but I would not recommend it.

I am taken aback at the lack of preparedness of KDF
IT appears hundreds, of Al Shaitan were able to approach the camp on foot, in pickups and with one large vehicle loaded with explosives (VBIED) . Yet they were not detected.
How can you set up camp in a dangerous area and not have basic detections like motion sensors, trip wires, booby traps, trenches ...................Even trained military dogs can be used to warn of oncoming insurgents.. The fact that Al Shaitan were able to come straight into the camp unseen is rather shocking.

Al Shaitan were equipped with night vision goggles and KDF were not. Even the camera they used to shoot the movie had night vision which is why the picture is clear as daylight. As such they could see KDF soldiers clearly and KDF were groping around in the dark. Thus they met very little resistance.

There was one KDF soldier who fought back by driving his armoured personnel carrier into Al Shaitan soldiers and even mowed down some of them. The carrier was eventually shot with an RPG And set ablaze. The KDF soldier emerges from the hatch to survey the scene. There are Al Shaitans right infront of him but it is apparent that he can't even see them again due to lack of night vision goggles. But they can see him clearly.

Perhaps the worst aspect of this attack is that both Uganda and Burundi were attacked in a similar fashion yet Kenya was not ready. This episode has left me with serious doubts about KDF leadership.

Ummmm...pull out the troops...to achieve what?

From my perspective, KDF should only deploy in places like El Adde if they are well equipped, protected and have people who can actually gather and use intelligence.

Apparently Al Shabab moved their equipment into the area days before and KDF did not even know. This is a failure of intelligence gathering.

Shaitans set up anti aircraft guns and KDF did not know because they don't fly reconnaisance missions.

And it is suggested that KDF were warned of an impending attack and did nothing.

As far as I am concerned, Kenya should not put troops in dangerous situations if we do not have the appropriate leadership and equipment. May as well bring them home. Huo ni upuzi. They just handed Shaitans a major propaganda victory that they can use to recruit misguided youth even in Kenya.
