US team says KDF forces fuelling Al Shabaab threat Kenya is likely to remain an AlShabaab top target in the next 12 months and beyond if the Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) are not withdrawn from Somalia, researchers claim. A new study says unless the banned terror group is defeated or severely weakened, the country will remain largely insecure due to threats posed by the organisation. Cabinet Secretary for Defense Rachel Omamo recently re-affirmed that KDF troops will remain in Somalia

until they are convinced that the Alshabaab have been defeated. But the hardline position seems to be what is keeping Kenya as a top target for terrorists, the researchers claim. “The insistence by the government that it will not be pulling its forces out of Somalia means Kenya remains a target of Al-Shabaab attacks beyond the next 12 months unless the group is crushed,” says IHS International.
