Sources have revealed that one Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) officer lost his life while two others sustained serious injuries during an Al Shabaab attack on a KDF camp in Baardere, Gedo region, Somalia.
Kenya Defense Forces troops are said to have returned fire killing 24 Al Shabaab militants in a gun battle that lasted for four hours.
While confirming the incident however, KDF Spokesman, Col. Joseph Owuoth, denied any fatalities on the Kenya Defense Force side.
“At about 1850hrs the Al Shabaab staged what we call a Probing Attack against our position in Baardere, Somalia, we were able to repulse them without any injuries or deaths on our side,” Col. Joseph Owuoth said.
However, reports in Somalia said that the militants fired an assortment of weaponry at the troops, including an 81mm mortar that hit one of the trenches, instantly killing one soldier while two others sustained head injuries and were airlifted to Nairobi for specialized treatment.

The USA members of the armed forces had the courage to run away from Vietnam preceded by the French army who did the same thing.
Under the wise leadership of President Bill Clinton, the same elite forces of the USA run away from Somalia.
We need an intelligent head of state from Kenya who will do exactly what the superior members of the USA armed forces did in Vietnam and Somalia.
As long as the immediate family members of Uhuru and Ruto are not on the front line fighting against the "crazy" members of Al Shabaab in the Federal States of Somalia, he (uhuru) can continue sacrificing the Kenyan members of the armed forces fighting in a war that The Kenyan army will never win indefinitely!
Waswahili wana msemo muhimu sana ambao Uhuru anahitaji kuujua, "Kwa mwoga huenda kicheko na kwa shujaa huenda kilio." As long as Uhuru does not have an immediate member of his family in the armed forces, he should have the courage to get out of Somalia and negotiate for an end to the hostilities between the irrational Al Shabaab and the Kenyan armed forces!
I have the spirit of defending our heritage but have not gotten chance to fulfill my dream. May Lord help me
