I would join Kdf to avenge their deaths and other Kenyans. I hear they were attacked by a group of 400. However only 1 photo(the one jirani posted) is doing rounds on the net…so I doubt the 60+ figure they are giving.

Its bad bro really bad
Still a grey area that why we need people like you come home please:(
I guess I am also in the dark on what exactly happened, all I have seen are unconfirmed reports of Al shaitan having overrun a Kenyan base and the government giving a contrary report…At this point I am hoping that the government account is the correct account but I have this nudging fear that these shaitans might have actually succeeded in killing our soldiers and If it is so … may they rest in peace.

Fare thee well my brothers.
We’ll continue to bring it down on them.
By expediting their stay here on earth.
And by God we are.

I’m definitely not qualified to do mental healthcare but I do try to participate as a volunteer physio for victims of war (civilians), soldiers and, sometimes which is often, sportsmen who had to stop their careers due to bad injuries (currently working with a 24-year-old rugby player who has shattered forearms).
Does the army have any programs where they take on volunteers directly instead of going through hospitals? I understand there’s lots of bureaucracy when it comes to these types of volunteer jobs so maybe there’s some stuff/programs I may not know about because I always have to go through a hospital volunteer system to be sent to these things.
Would love to help directly if I can.

They do, but my cousin in the Air Force tells me it is shit. Mental heath care is not a sector that receives the due attention that it should in Kenya especially in such stressful institutions. You can see the numerous murders done by uniformed personnel… Many people go around unmedicated. I think Kenya will see the first generation of veterans suffering from ailments such as PTSD from this war in Somalia.

The somalia equation is becoming complicated with each passing day from the influence of alqaeda to Isis/Isil to clan wars…I hear some fake ass analysts saying that the locals see kenya troops as occupational troops rather than peace enforcement troops this is further from the truth, the troops have done a commendable job of winning the hearts and minds of the locals from providing medicines to drilling boreholes and construction of schools

From what I understand when it comes to the quality of life that most soldiers have after coming back home, regardless of where they were posted or what their countries of origin are, the mental healthcare afterward means a WHOLE lot. If they do not get the support they need, then the chances of falling into some really bad situations, both personally and for people around them, are very high. So I’m just trying to find out what we have in place for our soldiers here at home.

it is the first time Kenya has gone to war in such a scale no one would’ve been expected to plan for problems we didn’t have before. you can see even us civilians have issues on how to deal with news when our soldiers are hit. guess we are all learning together…
