Hundreds demonstrate in front of Kenyan embassy in Washington DC. MAALIK_ENG JULY 16, 2013 COMMENTS OFF Washington-(Sh.M.Network) – the Somali Diaspora living in the United States of America protested in front of the Kenyan Embassy in Washington DC. The protests were against the recent atrocities committed by the Kenyan troops based in the lower Juba regions of Somalia including Kismayu. Anab Abdi Warsame who took part in the protests told Shabelle radio station that they were against the Kenyan oppression against the people of the lower Juba regions. She added that the human right groups stayed silent over the matter and the Kenyan troops were terrorizing the Somali civilians in Kismayu. ‘’ We are here to tell the world what the Kenyan troops are doing to the innocent Somali civilians in Kismayu” Ms Anab finally called for the international community to intervene and rescue the innocent civilians who are suffering under the Kenyan troops. Many Somalis have recently expressed their rejection towards the Kenyan peacekeepers in the country and called for deployment of other neutral troops in that region. The federal government has previously requested the withdrawal of Kenyan troops in the country and be replaced with neutral forces in the region. shabelle.net/hundreds-demonstrate-in-front-of-kenyan-embassy-in-washington-dc/
