KDF solder who single handily stopped Al shabab for hours till ammo
got finished.
He looked deviance and refused to surrender
While words can
never fully express how much someone means to us, language can still provide
comfort, solace, hope and even inspiration following the death of a loved one.

Looking at the video
that Al shabab posted online few days ago detailing El-Wade attack, I wish to
thank those fallen solders that showed courage and determination at the time of
need. I know the editor has removed parts that show the Al shabab militants
being killed so that he can try and demoralize KDF morale, but what he forgot
to do is to remove one great solder who circled the camp defending it from Al
shabba attacks for so long.
The footage shows an
armoured car going all round the camp and holding the attackers. I believe he
was doing this to help his colleagues arm themselves and even try and escape. After so many circles which I believe the
solder did take tens of Al shabab, he stops that vehicles and pop out with that
face that I believe sent some chilling feelings to the militant.
He is seen shaking
his head, which I believe was a sign of saying, “am not giving myself up, I am not
surrendering”, and then an Al shabab militant is seen shooting him at close range.
I believe he was happy to die inside his vehicle that he used to kill tens of
Al shabab attackers.
“No soldier outlives a thousand chances. But every soldier believes
in Chance and trusts his luck.”
― Erich Maria Remarque
The legacy of heroes
is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example. This
solder needs all praise as he showed what a true hero and a patriotic person
should do in protecting his/her country. I personally salute him and say” comrades a solder never dies and if he dies, he never decay”, blessed is the womb that
give such brilliant man.
The few solders who
escaped this attack, I believe this was able due to this solders frantic effort
of circling the camp shooting all round. It is unfortunate that he died, but he
died a HERO.
The footage also
shows several soldiers who were captured and are held as POW.
The solders,
although injured show great determination and no fear. I was touched and rejuvenated
by one who after speaking to the cameraman, he calls him back and say, “ Can I add
something” ?, He later recalls he is a solder and he should not beg, but
demand, “ I want to add something and I can add whatever I want”.
He sent a message to
his family which includes the entire Kenya nation. Son, be assured you are in
our mind and we are playing day and night as our God is God of miracles and
soon you will be back home.
Kenyans fighting men
and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a
debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this
cause, as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the
battlefield unscathed.
I know KDF morale is
high and up to-now, this fierce mighty army has done a devastating damage to al
shabab. Thousands of them have being killed ,other captured to a point the
militant group is turning to recruiting young boys to try advance their evil
course of humiliating Somalis.
Without the brave
efforts of all the soldiers, sailors and airmen, and their families, this
nation, along with our allies around the world, would not stand so boldly, shine
so brightly and live so freely.

Kenyans let all be
happy that we are living in a free country where you can do whatever you wish or
wear. That is why even Somalis from Somali country finds it safe to live in
Kenya than their country.
“I know while you
are seated in your office, you are told that we are poorly equipped, no that is
a lie, we are well equipped and it is only the Al shabab were (lucky), today
and were able to defeat us”. Those are words a KDF solder captured by Al
shabba.
He looks not worried being in hands of Al shabab killers. He talks to
them with order and fearless English. Brother I know you believe in God who will
never leave His children in hands of killers. Soon you will be home and you
will read this blog.
Looking at those
militant, one tends to wonder, what is wrong with this brutal killers, why terrorize,
Mamie and even kill innocent people in the name of faith. The other day I was
listening teaching by a great Muslim scholar, Dr Zakir, and he was very clear. “Muslim
faith does not condone killing, it is the duty of Muslims to spread their
faith by teaching the goodies, and if anyone believes, then let him/her convent
to Islam.
That said Al shabab,
should stop claiming there are doing those killing in the name of Muslim faith,
no this is a group that was formed by well-educated intelligent people who uses
Islam to enrich themselves.
As dawn comes, our
men and women in uniform be assured, millions of Kenya are behind you and we
have total faith in you.
God bless KDF, God
bless Kenya
