MOGADISHU (Reuters) – Kenyan soldiers have
abandoned a camp in the southern Somali town of El Adde following an
attack by al Shabaab, a military spokesman said, and the islamist
militants said they had taken full control of the base on Tuesday.
The Kenyan troops, part of an African Union (AU) force in Somalia (AMISOM), took heavy losses when al Shabaab launched a dawn raid on the camp near the Kenyan border on Jan. 15.
David Obonyo, spokesman for the Kenya Defence Forces, said the troops had vacated the camp, and were now stationed nearby.
