    Friends,

    I just created a new petition and I hope you can sign -- it's called: Block War Escalation in Somalia!

    This issue is very important to me, and together we can do something about it!

    Read more about it and sign it here: http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/Block_Escalation_of_the_War_in_Somalia_1/? launch

    Campaigns like this always start small, but they grow when people like us get involved -- please take a second right now to help out by signing and passing it on.

    Thanks so much, Joan

    When Kenya Defence Forces(KDF) entered into Somalia, it was never to boost it´s mllitary might or to occupy Somalia but they had 2 issues in mind;

    1. The noble duty of protecting the people of Kenya 2. To liberate Somalians from the rag tag militia called Alshabaab.

    Kenya did not bring it´s full military capability and they avoided it by all means necessary which is what makes sense in determinimg it´s capability not only in defending itself against a foreign agression but also to guard it´s rightful position in ensuring peace in the region.
