The UN has pledged regular funding for troops fighting Al-Shabaab militants in Somalia, including the Kenyan army, following last year’s cuts by the European Union that threatened to scuttle the mission.
UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres, who is on an official visit to Kenya, on Wednesday said that certain funding would strengthen the troops’ effort to restore security in the horn of Africa nation. Nearly 4,000 Kenyan soldiers are part of Amisom.
