Kenyan Army Destroys Somalia's Al Shabaab Where US Army Was Defeated by Nobody: 4:53pm On Oct 01, 2012 |
The Kenyan army has captured Somalia’s Indian Ocean port of Kismayo, driving Al Qaeda’s Somali franchise Al Shabaab out of its last strategic stronghold, the key to controlling southern Somalia. The small Kenyan army, navy and air force fought to victory Saturday, Sept. 29, after a year-long ground, sea and air offensive. 1 Like |

Humm, now why cant Nigeria do the same in Niger, where loads of terriorist pore over the border into Nigeria every day? If the Nigerien gov. is unable and or unwilling to stop the flow, perhaps Nigeria should grow a pair and do as Kenya has and go there and stop it for them. |

The OP is daft. The US dropped a handful of elite soldiers into a VERY hostile neighbourhood and succeeded in carrying out their initial mission (capturing local warlords). The plan only went awry when a US helicopter was shut down. The resulting rescue operation kept the US soldiers in the area until nightfall, where they were involved in an intense firefight. 20 US soldiers died compared to between 315 - 1500 Somali forces dead. So...fact check 1) The US did not fight Al Shabaab or engage any Somali forces in a protracted ground offensive. Al Shabaab did not exist then 2)The US troops withdrew...a kill ratio of 20 to 1500 does not count as 'defeated' The Kenyans basically haven't done anything more than what Nigerians have done in Liberia and Sierra leone. A true test would be if they had to fight a guerilla war with Al Shabaab 3 Likes |

ekt_bear: the kenyans should incorporate somalia into their own country. Or colonize it Never.Kenya is a sovereign state with it's own issues to worry about.Infact, if that were to ever happen, I would denounce my citizenship. The presence of Kenyan forces in Kismayu is intended to be part of “a very temporary liberation strategy” and will not amount to a military occupation of the southern Somalia port city, a top US diplomat said on Monday. Nosing.lol. |

Kenyan military planners duped Al-Shabaab into believing that a land invasion of their last remaining bastion of Kismayu was imminent before making an amphibious landing from the sea. Now waiting for one somali guy to come speak rubbish because he really hates his country. |
Re: Kenyan Army Destroys Somalia's Al Shabaab Where US Army Was Defeated by pendo89(f): 9:25pm On Oct 02, 2012 |
African Union forces and the Somali National Army have tightened control of Kismayu and by Tuesday had occupied the city’s new airport. |

They were there are peace keepers and only sent the Elite Squads to protect their guys from the warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid's men who kept attacking the supplies/US convoys.

Yeah, why don't we invade a sovereign state, and cause a major diplomatic incident? Think dude! Anyway, the Nigeriens and Chadians have been cooperating with the Nigerian military and Law enforcement in patrolling their own borders. This cooperation has also recorded a number of successes. |

shymexx: ^^^^Don't you think we need them to train Nigerian soldiers on how to deal with Islamists?? The Kenyans have a very disciplined and competent force. But I'm afraid they have absolutely nothing to teach the more seasoned and battle hardened Nigerian military. The combined arms assault (including the amphibious assault) were already successfully employed by the Nigerian military ever since 1963 in the Niger-Delta (3rd Marine Commando), in the 1990s in Liberia and Sierre Leone, and later on in the Niger-Delta (JTF Ops 2000s). So no thanks. |

The thread title is wrong.There should be no comparison whatsoever between the 2 countries because the US have provided logistical support (tracking )but no direct involvement. We look at the bigger picture >>Somalia needs peace.As long as there is non, they will continue putting strain on other nation's resources. That is how they affect the us all. |

Dude every day i read the news i see somali soldiers shooting their trainers in the back...lmao alshabaab is the somali people. they dress in civilian clothes. i promise you will be telling me in a few months that the AU should leave somalis alone. we somalis have history on our side. what do you apes who eat fufu and have aids on ur side. 18,000 negroids are gonna get shot here and there till they are depleted by the 12 million somalis in somalia |

like i said...somalis win either way.... we will eventually kill the slaves one by one...and when they run away...somalis will sign a peace deal with alshabaab since somali government cannot be in war with all the somali clans... in the mean time eat your popcorn...and watch the roadside bombs...cause i know somali people...they wont let foreigners in their country...you guys will just die for our cause and when you leave... alshabaab will be part of the government...already the new president said he will give asylum to all fighters... the last president was the leader of alshabab. stuuppppid negroids..lmao |

Is that Breaking news? Seriously? C'mmon isn't that what you have been doing for years? Bombing,killing, not only YOUR OWN women and kids, but foreigners in their own countries? Uganda,Tanzania,Kenya,so there's nothing new you are announcing here. Eti roadside bombs.lol,CHEAP!,why not blow urselves up? are those the same bombs left inside the governor's house when they were fleeing? Go ahead and kill them then wait and see what happens to your folks in kenya.It will be a war like no other. Did you watch how citizens wanted to bring down an apartment full of somalis, after a grenade flown at sunday school kids killed one of them? Did you see the somali women wailing and screaming from windows? If it weren't for cops, that would have been headline story. It will only take a day to sweep you all out and Drop you in war torn Mogadishu Fyi the army is not that stupid! Not the Kenyan army that I know of.Try another. Now this is BN; KDF have always had insiders disguised as Elshabab.Gosh you are so slow,but I wont reveal all details here. Just know that our 'people' were in your country 2 years before the war began.They didn't start war last year.They have done ground work,operated business and lived with the locals even as I type this.And they pray in the mosque. Hold on..aren't you aware that the Alshababs couldn't recruit their own citizens because none wanted to join? Yes the real somali people despise the terrorists Stop deceiving people.They hate your oppressive laws, But you are here singing praises like a fool. With no one to recruit they went in search of foreigners. And foreigners they got.Yeah [b]'foreigners' [/b]indeed. That is how slow they are. Listen old man!(remember to shave your grey bushy beard),No soldier goes to war unprepared! plus in each war there must be casualties on either side. Now that is what war is all about.Death and Victory!! Sanity must be restored for your people to go back. WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY.IT'S NOT THE REASON WE ARE THERE SO STOP FEELING TOO SWEET AS IF YOU MATTER. WE CARE ABOUT OUR ECONOMY WHICH YOU HAVE MESSED UP,OUR PEOPLE AND OUR GREAT FERTILE COUNTRY.WE WANT YOU OUT! SIMPLE. Its teh women and kids we care about but you are all messed up people. What you do with each other thereafter is none of our biz. You can slaughter and eat one other ,after all its your way of life |
