Highlights:
David Cameron, United Kingdom’s Prime Minister has in a statement on 28th September announced the deployment of Dozens of British troops into Somalia for peacekeeping mission to counter the Al Shabaab militants.
The over 70 personnel will join the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM)that supports the AMISOM troops in fighting the Jihadist in Somalia.
Summary:
British troops will soon be deployed to Somalia under the UN contingent; UNOSOM to fight the al Qaeda affiliates Harakat al Shabaab al Mujahedeen based in Somalia.
David Cameron the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister, announced this on September 28 barely a fortnight since an almost similar pledge to deploy personnel to South Sudan was made. The troops will provide wholesome support for the African Union troops fighting the militants in Somalia.
Cameron is expected to make an official pledge at the UN General Assembly summit currently taking place.
The troops deployed to either East African countries will provide combat and medical training, logistical and engineering support for the troops. The troops will equivalently help both countries set up the damaged vital infrastructure in readiness for a stable economy.
The move by the UK to provide troops to Somalia is expected to curb future migrant influx into Europe which in the past month is creating dire humanitarian crises in the European countries.
Cameron insisted that the troops would be involved in combat rather contribute to stability, “It means less terrorism, less migration, less piracy. Ditto in South Sudan: if we can, as peacekeepers, help to maintain order and peace and see stable development in that country then that is going to be, again, less poverty, less migration, less issues that affect us back at home.”
Forecast:
The troops’ presence in Somalia will not only boost the morale of the already present troops but directly improve the standards of the peacekeeping troops by rendering their superior training and expertise in training, engineering and mentoring.

Welcome comrades to this theatre.
To help al-shabaab as they have been helping the isis in syria. The al-shabaab and boko haram have pledged their allegiance to isis which admittedly being recruited and armed by the US led coalition. My question is how can they help the isis while at the same time they are fighting his brother?
A mugo by any other name is just a mugo
kwanini kuongelea kitu hujui!? nkt!!
Apo sawa but amisom are in control already?
Al-Shabab wil now remain a man-made HISTORY.
lol what a joke after the jobs done just to get your name attached to that win send them to libya instead they helped create that mess let them help there then send them home to try n stop exporting terrorists
Scramble for oil
They waited for the war to subside ndio wakuje.
Wakati alshabaab wameisha ndio wanakam
Kenyans have finished the job, what are they going to do there? Picnic ?
Why now???? Back-off! AMISOM are in control.
Britain? this wont end well;
Al, shabab waliisha kitambo
How can British help in a fight a finished battle
COWARDS!..COWARDS…!Where were they when the Alshaabab was hijacking ships at will?They had their tails btn their legs in fear and now they come running to take the glory after Africa has taken charge of her affairs and contained the Alshaabab.Shame on them…I suspect they’re on another mission..Alshaabab is just a smokescreen but they’ll be doomed…Pigs!If only the west knew just how fed up we are with their hypocricy!
i dont like that development. they shd deal with ISIS not alshabaab. they will complicate everything and this where i would request our govt to withdrawal our troops.
Nothing to celebrate!!! Am getting concerned about that after the Amisom, cornering, the terrorists and their (financiers) now they come in the name of fighting terrorists!!?? Why don’t they help Amisom in finance and logistics?? Coz am sure the Amisom has closed all avenues of militias to get weapons, where on this planet earth Americans and British enters and leave peace???
Amisom has already delt with alshaabab…. let them go to nigeria n flash out the boko halam there!!! We africans we’ve already won the battle!!!! Heysh!!
Coming in when the tide has been turned. When the enemy is already struggling. Cowards.
They have realised the war is about to be won and they cant allow Kenyans and Somalis to claim victory
The Wise Are Preparing The Way For The Imminet Coming Of The Messiah Jesus Christ While Those Who Do Not Understand The Dispensation We Are Living In Are On Blame Game!
hawa ndio hujenga alshabab na pia kuwapa silaha
i thought the war in somalia is over
good move but too late…
After Kenya has almost finished the job.
The British should keep off Somalia by all cost to avoid change of heart of the popularous. The Somalis might change the approach in support of the war. Let them channel all the support and resources to AMISOM and leave ground war to the AU troops.
Only 10 will go back home, the rest will die in the battle field
Come baby come
take it easy…welcom home british….
why wait until now……!? iyo ni mafuta wameona
They are welcomed bt should help amisom in dealing with yemeni refugees smuggling arms into Somalia
good idea,
The war is over Britain must have their hidden agenda they have not really come to fight Alshabaab..
I hope there’s no hidden agenda
And now they can rush to come en mine oil…
They just want to steal some techniques of fighting the most stubborn military group from our very effective KDF.
They have come to claim the prize of a battle that is almost won by AMISOM.
To##rape
They’re surely after something else…
kwisha !wazungu watazaliwa kenya coz najua watakuwa wakispend leaves and RR in kenya
With the help of Kenyan millitary, kudos kdf.
This is making hay while the sun has shine.
Alshabab tulisha wamaliza,they want to get the glory.
Let them come to Mogadishu and the Ugandans leave then we see.
They have not been directly provoct. This is an exercise order.
opportunistic
good,give them a sector and let them set operation bases there.
maombi tu kwenu
With wat i knw Britain with its might.the war against terror is over
They are called SAS SPECIAL AIR SERVICE.Number one elite special force in the world followed by navy seal of the usa.run alshabaab coz your going to get a beating a serious one
No comment God help Kenya
Wanataka kuanzisha vita ama nini? Coz ile ilikhwa KDF wamepigana na kushinda sasa ni final touches.
I think they shud be vetted otherwise this cud be more than meets the eye, let me hope no weapon from these so called british army wil fall under alshabab, so far amisom is just doing final touches so tht for once we cud hve peace in somalia, so lets watch on these britons, as one wud say, you shud know pple
What irony, only 70 in this country, that has not even reached peace enforcement stage, while you take 300 to S Sudan, a peacekeeping force, I disagree with this and question their intentions…
Completely false title and misleading article..uk troops are not to fight al shabbaad..they will train amisom troops…
Yes yes
Coming to kill a dead lion?? KDF has what it takes to finish the terror group. Mbona hawakuja when al shaabab abducted the British tourists.
Welcome
British army r cowards.Y come now??? let the world knw they r cowards and hypocrates
Nonsense
