US Operates 2 Secret Bases In Kismayu
24 June - Source: Wacaal Media - 324 Words
The United States of America operates two military bases in Kismaayo, Wacaal Media has learned. The first of the bases is located near Kismaayo Airport. The base is near that of the Kenyan forces at the airport. The Kenyans serve in the AMISOM mission but it is not clear what the mandate of the US base is. The second secret base is located within one of the Jubbaland military camps in the city of Kismaayo. Efforts to get more information from the Jubbaland officials bore no fruits as they showed reluctance to comment on the issue. Sources told Wacaal Media that there was cordial work relations between the Jubbaland intelligence agency and the US forces.
Construction of the building which the US offices occupy at the Kismaayo airport began in the year 2014 but now seems complete. The US forces are estimated to be around 200 officers. They don the official uniform of the US marines. Our source adds that the building also houses drone command and control center. US drones carry attacks in Gedo as well as neighboring regions targeting top Al-Shabaab commanders. Mogadishu, Baidoa, Marka reportedly house similar control and command centers.
Local residents confirmed to Wacaal Media the presence of the US forces in the city as they have on more than one occasion spotted vehicles driven by US forces. At one time, a vehicles in their convoy developed mechanical problems in the town and residents were shocked to see the heavily armed US marines taking positions. This confirms rumors in Kismaayo that the US forces had bases in Jubbaland.
