AMISOM Commander Tours Bases in Kudhaa

Storyline:National News

The overall commander of AMISOM Jen. Jonathan Rono has on Monday visited peace keeper’s bases in Kudhaa Island, Lower Jubba. This is the scene of bloody and devastating attack by Alshabab last year, and similar to that attack on Leego where more than 50 AMISOM soldiers perished.

The commander has commended the AU troops of their vigilant and readiness for taking on Alshabab.

He toured the defensive positions of the troops, inspected their weaponry and their state of preparedness incase of Alshabab attack similar to that of Leego, Lower Shabelle.

Commenting on that, the commander has said “Alshabab has never won, it’s an empty talk, our troops are always ready to stop them from their attacks, and they are well trained to rebel any ambush, that attack on Leego cannot be described as a victory for Alshabab and you would see what we would deal with them in the coming months”.

Kudhaa is 120km from Kismayo and was the scene of bloody attack by Alshabab last year on Interim Jubbaland Administration forces who were based there.

To that effect Kudhaa might be one of the main targets for Alshabab of Leego style attack and AMISOM bosses seem to be not taking chances.
