It is one thing to contact the DOD privately by phone to inquire about a relative, and totally another to grab at and regurgitate every sensational, gossipy dramatization served up by the press.
If you read that 9 or 68 died, you still do not know the fate of your loved one.
We really cant blame our soldiers they did their best in an enemy territory .The government should have sent air support long time ago…
This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. As soon as shabaab started their suicide missions I knew the tide would turn. During Linda nchi those guys were afraid to die and used to scatter like rats that they are. The use of 3 VBIEDs was also a first anywhere in the world. Look at the effects of a VBIED below and see its devastation 2017-01-29-VIDEO-00000187.mp4
Hapo umenena, the basic rule of war is that you must hold the higher ground and must never lose it, so all camps must be on higher ground. The other thing …unconventional war is fought unconventionally, even if it means breaking the law, ring the camps with banned landmines :D, booby traps and other barriers including huge sand bags and trenches. Have Special Forces on standby and reduce the response time. Finally invest in armed drones.
Or just maybe shida ni wakubwa wao (Difficulties in implementing all that)
that left me laughing. its like in that camp they were playing cards or cooking. in short they were nuts
video iko wapi?
This is what a VBIED can do
Ati all camps must be on higher grounds? What if the land is flat like Somalia?
even if the ground is flat…there are areas that are higher in elevation than others
The reason why it should not be let to encroach on a territory.If it advances to a camp nothing much can be done to alleviate the damage
A wide deep trench round the camp would come in handy.
actually he has a valid point …VBIED is very deadly …kdf should have retreated the moment the first one broke through the outer barrier …and im still not sure why the hell were they not prepared for such attack as of el-ade …anyways they fough to their ability and were still able to deal a huge damage on the alshabaab despite being out numbered and loosing several lives …i stand with kdf
Somebody in DOD is sleeping on their job, After El adde attack the kdf should have taken measures to prevent another VBIED attack on their camps… concrete barriers or a trench would be enough to prevent such an attack
May be you should get to Somalia ndio tuone hi expertise yako itakufikisha wapi. How do you get elevation in a plateau?
yes thats right …a fortified defence position on a higher ground is definately of HUGE advantage …large scale and easy visibility of targets .
a trench works perfectly…Nigerians use trenches against boko haram …the only issue is hand grenades
Have you been to Somalia?
but i dont think we are in a position to say how the kdf should have fought when we have never been on their shoes or been in such battle situation …
If you dig a trench all round, does it also mean you are also not meant to drive anything inside the camp?
Good question
