THE Somali Parliament on Saturday overwhelmingly voted for a motion that compels the Kenya government to withdraw its forces from Somalia.
At least 160 MPs voted for the motion, in which they singled out the Kenya Defence Forces and demanded they leave the country forthwith.
The MPs raised concerns concerning the latest report accusing Kenya’s military of illegal involvement in the sugar and charcoal trade and Kenya’s ongoing plans to build a 440-mile wall along its border with Somalia.
The Star Newspaper’s Investigative and Crimes writer Dominic Wabala analyses what caused the move and what implications it has on Kenya’s war on terror.
