Kenyan troops have advanced into Somalia and many have questioned whether Kenya has the expertise and financial resources to stay in Somalia that long. To be sure, the capture of tourists in Kenya made the situation worse. The tourism sector is very sensitive and any small negative news item on a country drives down the tourist numbers. Perhaps, the major reason that Kenya entered into Somalia was to safeguard the economic interests of the country.
The combination of the forces from Kenya, the Somalia transitional government and the African Union forces are sure to prove hard for the al shabab forces to capture. Perhaps, the military aid from USA and NATO countries would come in handy.
