Africa Daily - Why is there secrecy around Kenyan soldiers killed in Somalia?
Download Why is there secrecy around Kenyan soldiers killed in Somalia?
The militant Islamist group al-Shabab has become synonymous with violence and political instability in Somalia.
They have also carried out devastating attacks in surrounding countries.
In response, many of Somalia’s neighbours have sent troops to help fight the insurgency.
Among them are many thousands of Kenyans, some of whom have given their lives in the operation.
Kenya has never acknowledged the deaths of these soldiers. And the government does not release details on how many have been killed.
One family is speaking out as they bury a son killed last week. They say this has to change.
