Somalia Denies Recruiting Kenyans as Soldiers

Mogadishu Sunday 11 October 2009 SMC 

The Somali government on Saturday strongly denied recruiting youths in Somali-inhabited northeastern part of neighboring Kenya as soldiers in its fight with Islamist rebels.

Recent local and international media reports quoting various sources including Islamist rebels claimed that the Somali government was involved in recruiting young Kenyans of Somali decent as soldiers to fight Islamists along the common border between the two countries.

"The report that we are recruiting Kenyans as soldiers for our government is baseless and unfounded," Dahir Mohamud Gelled, Somalia's Information Minister told Xinhua. "Why do we need them as soldiers when we have enough youths to serve their nation bravely and honestly?"

Gelle said whoever was the source of that information should prove that the Somali government was involved in recruiting other nationalities to its security forces, saying it "can get as many as it wants" from Somali population inside Somalia.

The Somali minister said it was propaganda to suggest that the Somali government was using non-Somalis as soldiers and that the Kenyan government was "colluding with us" in using its citizens as soldiers.

Kenya supports the Somali government and has on a number of occasions been threatened for that by Somali Islamist rebel groups who wage a deadly insurgency against the Somali government and African Union peacekeeping forces in Mogadishu.

Kenya hosted the protracted national reconciliation conference that resulted in the formation of the transitional federal government of Somalia in late 2004.

The Kenyan government, following the setting up of the current Somali government early this year, pledged to train part of 10,000- strong Somali force, a move that led to threats of invasion from Somali Islamist insurgents.

Somalia, which has been mired in deadly civil conflict for the past two decades, has had no strong central government while the current weak but internationally recognized government is struggling to assert its authority in the face of two-year long deadly Islamist insurgency.
