Human Rights Official Wants KDF Withdrawn From Somalia
2018-01-27
[RADIOSHABELLE] Human rights organization in Mombasa has called for the withdrawal of Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) from Somalia.

Haki Afrika’s Program officer Francis Auma said the continued stay of the KDF soldiers in neighboring Somalia is hurting Kenyans.

Speaking on Thursday in Mombasa, Mr. Auma said following the increased attacks in the Coast region, the troops should be withdrawn from the war-torn country to protect Kenyans.

Mr. Auma said the national government should enhance security in the country especially in areas prone to terror attacks and to guard the border.

He said the soldiers have failed to deal with al-Shabaab
