Dubbed Operation Linda Nchi, the Kenya Defence Forces crossed the border into Somalia on October 6th 2011 in pursuit of the Al Shabaab in response to the group’s terror activities on Kenyan soil.

Over the eight year period, the terror group has carried out dozens of sporadic attacks in areas such as Lamu, Garissa, Nairobi, Mandera and Mombasa.
The Petition comes even as the government maintains that Kenya’s full objective is yet to be met in Somalia, with President Kenyatta on Saturday urging for support for Kenya’s men and women in uniform.

Maalim is expected to present the petition to Parliament next week.
