Practically every single thing Villa Somalia has claimed in this conflict has been fact checked as false.
Even the pictures of "dead or captured" Shabaab have been fact checked as false.
If you cannot even present a single picture of "captured" Shabaab, who would be in your hands, from a battle you are"winning," --- silly you.
Battle of El Adde
The Battle of El Adde took place on 15 January 2016. Al-Shabaab militants launched an attack on a Kenyan-run AMISOM army base in the town of El Adde, Gedo, Somalia. It remains the deadliest attack on the AMISOM Peace Support Mission to Somalia and is the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) largest defeat since independence in 1963. As such, the Kenyan government went to extreme lengths to conceal the extent of its losses.[6][18][19][20] It has been described by the media as a "military massacre" or military disaster.[18] It was also the largest military defeat in Kenyan history.

This is beyond a scandal at this point.To prevent details of what happened at El Adde from emerging, Kenya’s government used a rarely enforced law prohibiting the distribution of images or information likely to cause public fear and alarm or undermine security operations.
One local blogger who tweeted a photograph showing of the aftermath of the attack was promptly arrested. He was later released without charge.
“There is clearly an attempt to mislead Kenyans and to hide the truth about what happened,” said Patrick Gathara, a political commentator and cartoonist who lashed out at the KDF and Kenyan government in local newspapers after the attack. “It is being hidden to avoid accountability.”
Who died for you in El Adde?" Gathara believes there is a deliberate attempt "to avoid accountability."
Added Gathara, “It is all very deliberate and designed to avoid public demands for senior officials and officers to be held responsible for failures.
“The truth about El Adde is being hidden from Kenyans, not from Al-Shabaab.”
