Kenya's Decade-Long Peacekeeping Mission in Somalia: Compensation and the Path Ahead

By

In a significant development, Kenya's participation in the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS), formerly known as AMISOM, is set to conclude by December next year. Over the past five years, Kenya has received compensation of Ksh2.5 billion ($17 million) for its role in the peacekeeping mission, according to Defence Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale's recent statement in parliament.


The compensation was disbursed in annual installments of Ksh500 million ($3.3 million) and has been crucial in supporting Kenya's efforts in maintaining peace and stability in the volatile region. Kenya's involvement in Somalia's peacekeeping mission began in 2011 when the Kenyan Defense Forces entered Somalia to pursue Al Shabaab terrorists following a series of kidnappings along the border.


The mission's formal integration into the African Union Mission to Somalia (AMISOM), as mandated by United Nations Security Council Resolution 2036, marked a crucial step in the international effort to stabilize Somalia. In the subsequent years, AMISOM transitioned to ATMIS, with a drawdown plan in place until December 2024.


During his statement, Defence Cabinet Secretary Duale also highlighted the compensation for fallen soldiers serving in Somalia. Families of these soldiers receive Ksh4 million ($26,881) above their pension, with an additional Ksh5 million ($33,602) provided by the AU and the UN if the officer was serving in ATMIS. However, Duale did not disclose the exact number of soldiers and officers who have lost their lives in Somalia.


Kenya's presence in Somalia over the past decade has not only involved combat operations but also extensive efforts to train Somali forces, secure local communities, provide essential services like medication and water, and empower women with alternative sources of income. Additionally, Kenyan troops have successfully dismantled terrorist cells in Somalia, preventing potential attacks in Kenya.


In light of the UN's drawdown plan, which Kenya has committed to, more than 4,000 KDF personnel are set to withdraw from Somalia. This decision comes despite Somalia's recent request for a three-month postponement of the drawdown, underscoring the complex challenges and delicate balance between security and regional stability in the Horn of Africa.


As Kenya's historic peacekeeping mission in Somalia reaches its conclusion, it leaves a legacy of sacrifices made in the pursuit of peace and security, not only within Somalia but also in the broader East African region. The journey ahead will be crucial in shaping the future of Somalia and the stability of the entire Horn of Africa.

Tensions Escalate as Talks Resume Between Somaliland and Federal Government

By
In a region marked by historical complexities and territorial disputes, the recent resumption of talks between the federal government and the breakaway territory of Somaliland has sparked new tensions. The discussions, hosted by President Ismail Omar Guelleh of Djibouti, aimed to navigate the delicate relationship between these entities. However, these talks faced strong opposition from President Said Abdullahi Deni of Puntland, a semi-autonomous region within Somalia's northern part. Denouncing the absence of Puntland in the discussions, Deni condemned the reopening of talks, highlighting the ongoing border disputes between Puntland and Somaliland as a significant point of contention. Since February, clashes between the Somaliland army and SSC-Khatumo forces have escalated, with both sides accusing each other of instigating fatal combat in Las Anod town. This protracted conflict has contributed to heightened tensions in the region and complicated the efforts toward resolution. Som...

Puntland State Divided as SSC-Khatumo Seeks Separation

By
The High Court of Puntland State in Somalia recently issued a ruling that has reignited political tensions in the region. The Court upheld the decision of the Supreme Council of the SSC-Khatumo, a breakaway group within Puntland, to declare its independence from the state. This controversial move has cast uncertainty over the upcoming elections in Puntland, scheduled for January 8, 2024. Competing Claims to Sovereignty The SSC-Khatumo administration has long advocated for autonomy from Puntland, citing historical grievances and marginalization. The group claims to represent the interests of the Somali clans residing in the eastern portions of Puntland. The Puntland government, however, maintains that the SSC-Khatumo's claims are illegitimate and that the group's attempt to secede is unconstitutional. High Court Ruling Raises Concerns The High Court's decision to uphold the SSC-Khatumo's declaration of independence has created a complex legal and political situatio...
