I biliv the Alshbb account of the events. The Kenya govt, it appears to me, are trying to sweep this incident under the carpet like the other time. They are clearly embarassed by the heavy casualties they've incurred, the reason they hide the truth.
I think they lost soldiers, and its really dissapointing that KDF media and infomation unit is acting like we are in the 70s were everything is secret............... But I think Alshabaab is exergirating,, but since KDF kept quiet last time and alshabaab were busy disseminating info,today people are going to believe whoever gave a correct and timely account before...... yani even the british PM knows more than us... and we are the ones with families,relatives and friends over there.... realy disapointing..........
anyway , what I can deduct from his statement is if we had lost the battle, he would have condoled and condemed and said a few encouraging words, but his use of the word 'decisive responce' can only mean those who attacked did not live to celebrate, if it was a total loss on kdf no one will use such words......
The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has condemned the recent terrorist attacks in Somalia, in which Kenyan military personnel were killed.
The Foreign Secretary said:
I strongly condemn the recent Al Shabaab attacks in Somalia, against the Dayah hotel as well as a Kenyan Defence Force facility at Kulbiyow in Southern Somalia. I offer my deepest condolences to the families of the brave Kenyan soldiers who lost their lives or were injured in the attack.
I would also like to praise the decisive response of the Kenyan Defence Forces, who displayed exemplary levels of bravery in responding to the attack.
The UK continues to work closely with both the governments of Kenya and Somalia in the fight against terrorism. These security challenges represent a shared threat, and require a shared response.”
