NAIROBI, Kenya — The number of African Union troops killed while battling Somali militants has always been a tightly held secret, but a top Kenyan official says more than 2,700 troops have died there.

Richard Onyonka , Kenya's deputy minister of foreign affairs, said Wednesday at a forum on Somalia that Uganda has lost more than 2,700 troops since 2007. Onyonko said about three dozen Kenyan forces have died there over the last year.

 

Neither the African Union nor Uganda has ever confirmed its casualty figures, and several officials who work on Somalia said Onyonko's figure sounded high. Two officials told The Associated Press last month that about 500 Ugandan and Burundian troops have died in Somalia since 2007. A Ugandan spokesman did not answer calls for comment.

Reminds me Zenawi's denial of the huge losses in Somalia.

 

 

Your amiir is one man!

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

Ofcourse but under his command.

^You welcome the death of Somalis at the hands of foreigners-that says alot.

[Che -Guevara]

Luckily, you are no position to cleanse anything and others could only fight for you up to a point.

 

p.s. Overwhelming majority of people that AMISOM killed are civilians but I guess they are scum too.

Apophis che use to be a Al shabaab supporter

Did the report include how many Somali innocent civilians they killed or carpet bombed?

[Che -Guevara]

Or killed in cold blood?

^Well, as long as its justified, after all they are whipping out the 'fake wadaads' - the world would turn a blind eye as it has been done in Iraq, Afghanistan etc.

 

Yaa uu macaan innoncent Somali civilians - no one @ Jacpher.

 

*ps. I feel like slapping Apophis to kingdom come - bila diig yahao!*

[Somalia]

A lot of innocent people died during the unjustified illegal Amxaaro invasion led by traitors but the thousands more that died during the justified AMISOM shellings of 2010-12 died for the greater good, no doubt. AUN

Are you an Al Shabab supporter, Malika?

 

Apophis's point was very clear.
