Event Summary
Thursday 16th 2015; Kenya Defense Forces Air-force deployed its F-5 Tiger jet fighter/bombers to conduct surgical airstrikes on target Juungal located between Bardhere and Buur Hajje in Gedo region of Somalia.
The airstrikes were purposed to eliminate over 100 combatants of the Harakat al- Shabaab al-Mujahideen Movement Al-Qaeda’s branch in Somalia who were digging in the area after a US drone airstrike killed 2 of their top senior commanders Ismail Jabhadi and Jamaa Adhere.
56 Enemy combatants were killed. The airstrike destroyed enemy resources and battle assets further degrading their capability to conduct aggression against civilians.
Analysis
The Kenya Army (Kenya Defense Forces) has made significant gains against the Harakat al- Shabaab al-Mujahideen Movement Al-Qaeda’s branch in Somalia in recent past.
KDF has significantly degraded the capability of the terror outfit to conduct guerrilla activities outside the enclave of Bardheere and has eliminated key tactical teams and their assets in the Gedo and Juba.
Kenya Army has opted the preemptive strategy to deter Harakat al- Shabaab al-Mujahideen Movement combatants from launching attacks against its infantry platoons serving under UN-AMISOM that are deployed strategically in both regions/theater (Gedo & Lower Juba).
The terror outfit is seen to suffer setbacks in these highly valuable regions. Al-Shabaab wants to capture and take control of the agricultural areas besides gain access to routes to the seaports or at-least the coastlines. Such access will outright allow them to replenish their supplies including arms, food, medicine, and most importantly restore exports and imports to raise much needed revenue.
Forecast
An outlook on future scenarios in theater depict a decline of the Harakat al- Shabaab al-Mujahideen Movement Al-Qaeda’s branch in Somalia in Gedo and Juba regions.
However, there are high chances of the militants using businessmen to achieve finance goals.
While the pressure by the Kenya Defense Forces may significantly weaken operability of any asset the terror outfit may posses or acquire, a build up of their operatives will be observed in areas where AMISOM presence is low.
The militants will also increase their recruitment drive to fill gaps left by those killed in combat besides replenishing their rank and fold.
We have the jets we should bomb the entire somali region evry day n nyt til no lizard stays alive

@Caaqil its pitiful if you’re the smart one in your region, the others must be walkers coz your rants are just empty fluff 🙂 Saudis are greater cowards as they offered to pay other countries to get their boots on the ground on their behalf. Where did you get your lies from? Andarus?

Hhhhh,,,whum are yo telling
Kenya gov’t mst cmprhnd dat it wount win a war against a terorist unless thy wipe awy frm their mind da idea of sayn ol muslms r terorist.
We Christians in Kenya have Muslim neighbors but we don’t see them as alshabab coz we grew together and we respect one another
So dude you are wrong, there is some bad elements that the movement want to plant in our Kenyan Muslims
Hivo ndo kiboko chao na bado cha mtema kuni, hivo tu ni cha virauni
@h.wood.Enyewe,no wea.it can only b held in hell

American airfoce
KDF fanyeni job yenu.Alshabab wataixha
Good Work,keep It Up.
Kudus KDF.Wipe them all.
Kenya si ya mama ya mtu mtajua why KDF is among the best army in the world!!
Smoke them to death
We Kenyans are wrong. The first thing we could have done is to chase away all non Kenyan Somalis. We hosted them for over thirty years after they have destroyed their country now they are fighting us. Let chase all of them. Let them go back to Somali.
mtu aambie alshabab wenye tulipeleka uko walikua k.p,,, k.d.f ndo inakuja sasa, wasianze kujiaria
pls kill more Al-Shabaab terrorists!
Actually anyone beyond jumbaland should be treated as the enemy the land there should be flattened, then later after war those living in daadab should be taken to occupy the land
The BBC is reporting “US led drones strike”…
kdf are super power forces in Africa..#NyongeniHaoAlshabaabnaMATUMBO ZAO
hahaha behind da curtains r bt do i say
kudos
Kill more and more please
Alshabaab are referred to as The Islamist terror group of somalia,and you hear someone say alshabaab are not muslims?!!nkt
Post like this would only infutriate hate speechs let the Government do their work, ain’t interested in this news. Wat matters is security and safety of all kenyans. we are creating so much news azing we heroes yet this is the kenya first tym war against terror. The day we wage war against Terror group Alshabab however small thy seam to be they’ll retaliate… jst like Israel n Palestine,Saudi and Yemen.. lets not cause division between us, calling names and targeting one ethnic group as terrorists… Alshabab consists of my tribes and ethnic groups… lets fight for peace as one nation n leave everything to the government… thnks
Apo sawa kdf
Let them b killed.
mjue leo kwao kesho kwenu n mtajiskia aje surely??? let us pray to God tupate amani that one is not solution
Evidence
the more you kill them the more you free us from this bloody buggers .
R.I.P al shabaab.. we wont mis u as go to stay and feed pigs in satan’s den.. yes thaz wea u belong..
Blast the brains out of all them and make no effort for the distinction between Somali and al-shabaab…they’re all cut from the same cloth
that will never happen,or It’s vice versa
God has started wah againest them see what our most high God is going 2 do.
Slay them all, clean each and every one of these cockroaches from the face of this earth. For every one of them there are 50 strong Kenyans!
just the same way muslims dont call LRA and lords resistance army christian terrorists lets not call others muslim terrorists its a two way thing.Instead terrorist should be labeled as terrorists using (bible or koran e.t.c) am in non of the two but abrahamic religions should learn to give two way respect.
ndo maana kenya kunabomiwa,kila time mkiattack al~shabab lazma mjianike kwa gazeti na media zingine,they wll stll revege,ama mnafikiria hawaskizangi news?
Tenks 2 gvt
Teach them a lesson
Thumbs up to our brave warriors!

Hi there Mr Mark U are small narrow minded, like uhuru kikuyu, go back 2 history about war, idiot, look there is no country has a power 2 win a war, look USA most powerful of in this world they never win a single war, like, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, remember 1992 America come 2 somalia what happen they run away, non victory at all, you tell me Kenyans are fighters I don’t think so monkey, remember what happen west gate, 5 somali skins holding fight for 3 days, what they doing Kenyan fat military, nothing they waiting support from, ISRAIL, after finishing operation, the fat Kenyan military and polis went in side shopping center, doing what looting steeling public property and shoppes that is very shame and disgusting, KENYA most corrupted country in East Africa, now KENYA its finishing time plv or not, there is no somali alshabab in Kenya at all, but there is alshabab within the Kenyan well trained in somali, Ethopia, Uganda, Tanzania,Sudan, all they are Kenyan nationality, and all the tripes in Kenya, incl kalangin, lua, griama, kikuyu, U named, let’s see what is happening 2018 election, or my be before that KENYA will not stand, U know why paying back the price, any way kikuyu destroyed KENYA, look how they suffer Kenyan ppl, unemployment is very very high, foot shortage, 98% most the Kenyan children and woman’s are dying, for low nutrition, think twice, already is too late, I don’t think those jubilee party who is political failure they never recover, the damage they make 2 KENYA, GOOD LACK KENYAS, SOMALIA ALWAYS IS SOMALIANS WORIOR, WE HATE WHO HATE US, WE Appose who Appose US, WE DEFEAT, OUR enemies, no mater how many they are we still stand for ever, my victory is dying with dignity, and I know my enemy I deal with them,
