Ajuran: Kenya’s military, embarrassed by mounting evidence of large-scale looting by soldiers during the terrorist attack on the Westgate mall in Nairobi, is appealing for public help to identify and punish the looters.

“The Ministry of Defence is committed to get to the bottom of this matter,” the Kenyan military said in a statement on Thursday after a crisis meeting of top defence officials. Any soldiers found guilty of looting “will be firmly dealt with,” the statement said.

Earlier in the day, a Nairobi newspaper reported that footage from closed-circuit cameras showed Kenyan soldiers stealing money from cash registers at an abandoned supermarket at the mall within hours of the terrorist attack.

The evidence of looting is disturbing because it suggests that Kenya’s poorly paid and corrupt soldiers could be bribed to turn a blind eye to terrorist threats to the country. There is already speculation that the Westgate attackers may have entered the country by bribing border guards.

At least 67 people were killed in the attack.

A Nairobi newspaper, The Star, said the closed-circuit footage shows the soldiers opening cash registers and dumping cash into plastic shopping bags on the night of Sept. 21, while the attackers were holed up in a corner of the mall.

The footage shows three soldiers walking out of the supermarket with plastic shopping bags filled with cash, while others can be seen choosing items from the supermarket shelves, it said.

Kenyan forces earn between $900-$2400, depending on their position. Not so much but quite decent compared to what alshabaab militants get.
Ajuran, you've avoided answering my simple question question. Are you pro alshabaab or the govt of somalia? Look at the discrepancies in your past comments.

And hey, Ajuran, do not taunt the americans over the black hawk fiasco. You merely outnumbered their soldiers, who nevertheless inflicted such heavy casualty on the otherwise very heavily armed Hussein Aideed fighters.
20 something american soldiers killed an estimated 450 somali fighters and injured so many others before they were finally subdued. What if they were just hundred? Those chanting savages would have been completely annihilated on that day!

As i recall the americans left Somalia and so did the U.N. but your a bantu, you would have surrendered cause you rather live in shame than die with pride.
