ʻO nā hōʻike mai Mombasa i ka pō e kamaʻilio e pili ana i kahi helikopter koa Kenyan i pana ʻia e nā pūʻali koa Islamic militia Somali e hoʻomalu ana i ka palena palena ma ka ʻaoʻao Somali o ka palena. Ua pakele ka poʻe helikopa i ka make akā ua hōʻeha ʻia a ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia i kahi haukapila koa. ʻO ka helikopter, e like me nā kumu Kenyan, aia i loko o ka'āina Kenyan, e lele ana ma ka palena e nānā a mākaʻikaʻi i kahi iʻikeʻia e hoʻohanaʻia no ka hoʻokomoʻana i nā palena'āina.
I ka wā ma mua, ua hōʻeuʻeu ka poʻe koa Somali i nā kauhale Kenyan ma ka palena no ka ʻimi ʻana i nā lako akā ua hoʻokuke mau ʻia (e nānā i ka ʻatikala eTN pili, "African Union lays into Eritrea").

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- Some of the militias are quoted to have openly declared their desire to create a greater Somalia by integrating areas in Ethiopia and Kenya into their fiefdom, and both Kenya and Ethiopia have, in the past, fought wars with Somalia to defend their territorial integrity in the Ogaden region and in what in the old days was called the “Northern Frontier District”.
- Kenya has more recently established new forward bases for her military along the border with Somalia, while the border posts have been officially closed for the past several years by the Kenyan government.
- ʻO nā hōʻike mai Mombasa i ka pō e kamaʻilio e pili ana i kahi helikopter koa Kenyan i pana ʻia e nā pūʻali koa Islamic militia Somali e hoʻomalu ana i ka palena palena ma ka ʻaoʻao Somali o ka palena.
