Kenya to Remain with AU Mission in Somalia Amid Tensions

Mohammed Yusuf

   NAIROBI - Kenya's president has said his forces will remain part of the
   African Union Mission in Somalia and leave the country when it's secure
   and stable. The president's statement came at a time Kenya's forces are
   facing hostility in parts of Somalia for their support of the Jubaland
   administration, which the Somali government has refused to recognize.

   This month Kenya and Somalia agreed to normalize relations after months
   of diplomatic tensions between the two countries, which had differences
   on many issues, including the disputed Jubaland elections.
