This report stated that there were no Somali militias based in Kenya, but the a member of Kenyas parliament from Mandheera country has rebuked that claim and says this militia was stationed in his region for the last 10 months and given support by the KDF.
The elders of this county have also asked their government to remove the militia many times, but have been ignored. The commission that was a part of the fact gathering never spoke to these representatives nor did they enter the border town of Beled Xaawo.
Somalia's information minister says that this report was made in accordance with Kenyan defense minister and former Foreign minister, Monica Juma and failed to take into account Somalia's side since this commission denied going to Beled Xaawo town twice when requested by the Federal Government to do so.
