Kenyan Defence Forces have already started withdrawing their men.
Mogadishu is growing jittery about the planned withdrawal of African Mission in Somalia troops from Somalia, according to a report on Wednesday.
The move has angered some African countries who’ve threatened to pull all their troops out of the peacekeeping missions, arguing that more peacekeepers are needed to defeat militant group Al Shabaab. However, Busar, which is in Gedo region, is also where KDF recorded their greatest loss in history during the 2016 El Adde attack, in which about 200 soldiers died. Tuesday’s evacuation followed the pullout of Kenyan troops from other bases including Bardera, El Adde, Taraka, and Fafadun.
