Kenya President Uhuru Kenyatta has reiterated the East African country’s commitment to routÂ militant group Alshabaab in neighbouring Somalia.

Kenyatta was reacting to the Sunday killing of Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldiers near Dhobley, Somalia.

May God rest the souls of our warriors, and may he grant their families the courage to bear this loss.

“Earlier today, I was appalled and saddened to learn that we had lost nine young patriots to a cowardly terrorist attack in Somalia. These men gave their lives for their country, and for peace; we must, and we will, honour their service, their sacrifice and their valour” Kenyatta tweeted on Monday.

The troops were killed when an IED hit their convoy while on patrol near Dhobley in the Gedo region.
