Kenyan Forces Will Remain in Somalia Until Country Stabilizes

Tuesday, July 16, 2013

Kenya’s government rejected accusations by Somalia that its forces breached their peacekeeping mandate and said the troops will remain there until the Horn of Africa country stabilizes.

Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud earlier this month asked a group of Kenyan forces to leave the country’s south, accusing them of violating their mandate by supporting one of two factions seeking control of the Jubaland region. Somalia wants a “neutral force” to replace the Kenyan peacekeepers, Somali Information Minister Abdishakur Ali Mire said on July 1.

Kenyan troops entered Somalia in October 2011 to fight al-Qaeda-linked Islamist group al-Shabaab after a series of kidnappings of foreigners and the murder of a British tourist in Kenya, which the government blamed on the militant group. Tourism is Kenya’s second-biggest foreign-exchange earner.

“Kenya’s security along the border with Somalia is intractably linked to peace and stability in that country,” Zaddock Syong’oh, a policy adviser in Kenya’s Foreign Ministry, said in an interview on July 12 in the capital, Nairobi. “Kenya’s military will not therefore leave Somalia until it is stable and secure.”

Kenya’s focus in Somalia is to secure Jubaland, which is also used as a base to plan attacks on Kenya, he said. “It is a matter of Kenya’s national security,” Syong’oh said.
Aid Deterrence

The semi-autonomous region is the main source of the more than 600,000 Somali refugees currently in Kenya, Antonio Guterres, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, said on July 10. The UNHCR and other aid agencies are unable to deliver assistance in parts of Jubaland and situation there remains “tense,” Guterres said in an e-mailed statement.

Since they began the incursion, Kenyan forces have helped African Union peacekeepers liberate parts of southern and central Somalia previously controlled by al-Shabaab. Operations to free more territory have been suspended while the government resolves its dispute with Kenya, Syong’oh said.

Somalia accused Kenya of violating its mandate after clashes between two factions seeking control of Kismayo, the capital of Jubaland. Regional leaders in May elected Ahmed Mohamed Islam, a warlord also known as Madobe, as the region’s interim president. Barre Adam Shire Hirrale, a former defense minister, has since declared himself head of the region, according to the African Union.

“Kenya is not supporting any one,” Syong’oh said.

An e-mail and calls to Somali Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon Saaid’s office seeking comment weren’t answered.

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said on April 9 his country has “invested immense diplomatic energy and resources in the quest for a stable Somalia,” and will support the African Union peace process in Somalia because “a stable and prosperous Somalia is in the interest of all nations.”

The UN is creating a tripartite commission with the governments of Kenya and Somalia to prepare for the voluntary return home of Somali refugees. The repatriation should be slow to avoid destabilizing the peace process, Guterres said.

I have said it before the Kenyans are not going any where the only way Kenya can leave Somalia if they leave a functioning well structured autonomous jubbaland state , uhuro kenyata plays politics to its highest level, and he understands what is at stake.

^^ Your rag tag Militia can be defeated in 2 hours by the KDF , do you know how well trained and well equipped the Kenyans are , by the way Other African union forces will not fight the Kenyan troops you are a dumb hawiye Djibouti has never been at war a girly Eritrean militia chased them and bullied them
Kenya has the support of large segments of Somalia particularly the daarood clans both in Kenya and in Somalia. Diplomatically u have no chance only if the kenyans leave and vacate jubaland but that is unlikely.

Stupid mad man the conflict is always about tribe, Hawiye was never anti Kenya they have invested in Kenya many live in kenya they go for vacation to Kenya hawiye love kenya. But hawiye started hating kenya when kenya started supporting the daarood Somalis in the Jubbaland thing, all conflict about Somalia is about tribe not because one tribe is nationalistic. You cannot be nationalistic when u wake up from the Ugandan barracks , yet call out Kenyans. Also the darood who are against Jubbaland such as the Marehaan are against it because they believe they are being sidelined but they would love to control an autonomous Jubbaland state.
Kenya is not Somali enemy Ethiopia is not Somali Enemy, Somalis are each others most worse enemies.

I will not deny the Qabiil! is there and strong!

But Kenya have truly done crimes against humanity in Kismayo! Wallahi if Tomorrow Amxaaro comes to you in Burco iyo Berbera! and start killing people! I would be the first to take off the Qabiil shirt! and fight for the freedom of those people!

And you know that 100%, Hawiye will come to aid you! and all somalis knows that! we have our bad sides, but not when it comes to strangers killing somalis.. we can not take that
