Nairobi (Sunatimes) Kenya has vowed to decisively deal with Al-Shabaab inside the Somali war-torn capital, Mogadishu, in its bid to protect its territorial integrity.

Addressing the Nation during Mashujaa Day celebrations in Nairobi on Thursday, President Kibaki said that Kenya’s security is paramount and his government will use all measures necessary to ensure peace and stability.

He said their security forces have begun operations within and outside of their borders against militants who have sought to destabilize Kenya.

Kibaki said Kenya is working closely with the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia, IGAD and the African Union to help the war-torn country find peace.

He called on the Kenyan public to be vigilant and identify bad elements among them, saying that Kenyan’s hospitality must not be abused by some bad elements.

Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga also said they will not allow anybody to create insecurity in their country.

Earlier Kenyan forces have crossed into Somalia to pursue Al-Shabaab militant who they accuse them of kidnapping several foreigners from Kenya.
