The Kenyan military is Kenyans to ignore the video clip showing execution of people alleging to be Kenyan soldiers that the Al Shabaab militants are planning to release
Kenya Defence Force spokesman Major Emmanuel Chirchir says that no KDF soldier has been captured or missing since the onset of Operation Linda Nchi aimed at crushing the insurgents.
“We take this opportunity to categorically state no KDF troop has been captured or missing since the onset of Operation” said on his twitter account.
He said the Kenyan troops are safe and still in hot pursuit of the militants and urged the media to ignore the clip once they come across it.
“Should Al Shabaab circulate this clip, media should not transmit it to glorify the criminals” he said
Kenyan and Somali troops had received support from local residents the areas where Al Shabaab have been flushed out .
Local people said the village in the Gedo region, which borders Kenya and Ethiopia, was a known rebel haunt.
Kenya sent hundreds of troops into southern Somalia more than five weeks ago to crush the insurgents it blames for a series of kidnappings and regular cross-border attacks.
