‘Did Kenya Cover Up The Al-Shabaab Massacre At El Adde Military Base?’CNN Digs Into The Contentious Case

CNN’s Robyn Kriel reports from Nairobi, Kenya, where she speaks to families of the victims of the El Adde military base raid.

In January, 300 Al-Shabaab militants brutally attacked Kenyan soldiers stationed in Somalia leaving as many as 141 dead – but, in the months since, there has been no explanation of what happened. Many of the details remain shrouded in mystery.

Corporal James Saitoti Kuronoi’s remains were subjected to seven DNA tests before they were finally identified and handed to his loved ones for burial, three months after he was killed. His sister Jackqueline tells Kriel that there were weeks of uncertainty following the raid: “You hear that some people were taken by Al-Shabaab, others are still in hiding, others were hiding and killed, some were burned beyond recognition, and you don’t know where you belong. Where is our person?” She adds, “We would like to know who are these people? They died together. How many were they? It is a question that will live in our minds forever, because even if you have the body, what about the rest? How many were they? How many were rescued? You don’t know.”
