Kenya military spokesman Colonel Cyrus Oguna said Kismayu fell at 2am Friday after a fierce battle with the terror militants. The troops are urging the residents of the port to avoid areas under their control to avoid any form of collateral damage. The port was the last bastion for the Somalia militants Al-Shabaab which has been in control for the last couple of years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacpher Posted September 29, 2012 ^ Kismaayo is still empty. No Kenyans no Shabaab and it's Sunday morning there now. Al Jazeera interviewed local residents and said no Kenyans or Shabaab. Just thugs looting the city. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Homunculus Posted September 30, 2012 Can't the people of Kismayo organize themselves and protect themselves from few thugs. People need to start taking care of their own affairs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abwaan Posted September 30, 2012 I think that will be hard Hom, because they might be blamed of being pro-Alshabab. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
