I have never understood why my country Kenya has some wired love-hate relationship with Iran, [One time we are seeking to buy all our oil from them and other times we are accusing them of sending IRGC Quds force to bomb us in acts of terror) now I'am beginning to get it.

In early 1978, Kenyan-Iranian relations came under great strain over the Ogaden war between Ethiopia and Somalia.

Kenya suspected that Iran was actively supporting Somalia and also arming it with weapons supplied by Britain and America.

While Iran and Kenya’s Western allies leaned towards Somalia in the conflict, Nairobi was sympathetic to the Soviet-backed Ethiopia, mainly because of Somalia’s claims to the northeastern part of Kenya.

Further annoying Kenya was a statement by the Iranian monarch, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, that his country would not stand and watch if Somalia were invaded. The remarks caused a furore and ignited a heated debate in Kenya.

Foreign Affairs minister Munyua Waiyaki warned that Iran was not an African country and therefore had no right to interfere in African affairs.

With Somali forces falling back in the Ogaden, Kenya feared that President Siad Barre of Somalia might attempt to save face by launching an attack on the North Eastern Province of Kenya using arms from Iran.

Around the time, an Egyptian plane carrying arms to Somalia was intercepted by Kenya Air Force jets and ordered to land in Nairobi for violating Kenyan air space.

All the arms and ammunition were taken to Kahawa Barracks.

Egypt retaliated the following day by impounding two Kenya Airways Boeing 707 planes with a total of 114 passengers, among them Mauritius Education minister Heeralall Bhugaloo.

The first plane was intercepted by the Egyptian Air Force while on its scheduled flight from London to Nairobi; while the second was impounded during a scheduled stop in Cairo to refuel on its way from Nairobi to London. Kenya reacted swiftly by releasing the Egyptian plane.

New indigenous Seaward Defence Boat for the Nigerian navy. This vessel would have a different design from NNS Karaduwa.

It would be faster with better sea keeping and endurance.

NNS Aradu is also undergoing a refit at the Naval dockyard.

If you zoom in, you can see in the second photo the work going on on NNS Aradu.

Locally built barges progressing really well.

They'll be used for replenishment at sea purposes.

According to the New York Times, Kenyan soldiers hid in the grass during the attack that saw three Americans killed when al-Shabaab attacked the base.

"Many of the local Kenyan forces, assigned to defend the base, hid in the grass.

Kenyans announced they had captured six al Shabaab, but they all turned out to be "bystanders and were released."

I find the story of Kenyan army soldiers hiding in grass to be funny.

Whether you compare it to Nigeria, I still find it funny.

Oga shut up, at your age ?? How can you still sound like a broken record? it's a shame!. Sadly one girl out there looks at you as her man, smh, Damn! . Boys like you can't confront a mere tout of a bus driver when he rams your car on the express but would come online and insult the desperate actions of men like "you" in the midst of flying bullets to survive.
Respect yourself and take a chill pill.
