Kenyan president calls for help to save Somalia
2008-09-12
(SomaliNet) Kenyan President Kibaki on Wednesday appealed to the international community to send peacekeepers to Somalia to save the country from plunging into anarchy.
How about you sending some troops first?
The Kenyan leader expressed concern at recent developments in the strife-torn Horn of Africa country in which several people have been killed.

The Head of State urged the Transition Government in Mogadishu and all the parties involved in the conflict to embrace dialogue so as to guarantee the people of Somalia peace and security. "We must all act to ensure that the pledges for resources made by the international community are fulfilled," he said.

The President spoke when he opened the Association of Military Christian Fellowship Africa Golden Jubilee Conference at the Safari Park Hotel in Nairobi. He praised the role the military had played in peacekeeping programmes.

#2  ...to save the country from plunging into anarchy.

I would figure anarchy would be a step up.

#1  How about Operation Hammer-II President Kibaki? Don't count on the following KAR elements however: 1st and 2nd (Nyasaland) Battalions, 3rd (Kenya) Battalion, 4th (Uganda) Battalion, 5th (Uganda) Battalion, 6th (British Somaliland). Have a splendid day in Somaliland.
