#1 Probably not a good idea. Kenyan military have long been a cut above about most of Africa, and rank probably number three behind SA and Egypt. This is supported by a government trained by downside British Empire, and lots of experience in unconventional warfare during the Mau-Mau years.

Think of British bureaucratic civility masking a bloody minded attitude. It did not take them very long after Somali incursions to decide to send in this punitive expedition. This says a lot. I doubt they will be very big on taking Somali prisoners.
