Kenya Defence Forces units assigned to the African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom) are failing to enforce a ban on charcoal exports by al-Shabaab, a team of United Nations monitors charges in a new report.

Shabaab earns at least $10 million (Sh1.03 billion) a year by shipping charcoal from ports in southern Somalia where KDF units are stationed, the UN panel says.
