We also need to engage the civilian administration of both the Transitional Federal Government and the local administration in the regions that are next to us, so that we can have elders and politicians on our side. We need to win the Members of Parliament in that area. The Members of Parliament from the region that is closest to Kenya have no business being in Mogadishu today. They must be there with us. They must be moving inside the liberated areas to mitigate between the military force, which is achieving a military objective, and the fact that the civilians need to be won over."

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was told that the Israeli Prime Minister is coming on a visit of this area. Any move to try and bring Israel into this conflict will defeat our own purpose of going into Somalia. The Al Shabaab and the other groups will instantly get what they need. I must say that any effort to try and reach out to Israel on this matter was, in my opinion, wrong. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to applaud the work of the AMISON forces in Mogadishu, particularly the Burundian forces. They have lost many lives, they have gone out there and they have liberated the bulk of Mogadishu from Al Shabaab . I wish I could say the same for the Ugandan forces. They move in, they get out. Right now, the Somalis are saying Ugandans have gone there as business people. They have not gone there to liberate them. It is time we told the Ugandan forces to change. That is the situation on the ground."

But nonetheless, I know what goes on there. For many of our people here, this is the story. I want us to engage the Somali people because, at the end of the day, if we do not train their own forces, it is only they themselves who will liberate their cities from Al Shabaab . We must train the forces of the Somali---"

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you very much. I also want to really congratulate the professionalism of our forces and the Ministry of State for Defence even in dealing with the forces that they have trained in offering them leadership in terms of command. We now need to train the Somali army, so that they are able to perform; they are able to be the force before us. That is the only way that they will own the process themselves. They will not see this thing as an invasion and they will see us as brothers who have gone there to liberate them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have close to 600,000 refugees in our country. At this rate, if we do not do something about Somalia, in another five years, we will have 5 million Somalis in here. It is imperative that we go into Somalia the way we did it. My constituency now hosts 560,000 Somali refugees. They are using the vegetation there for energy. Just imagine 560,000 people going every day out there to cut trees from that arid and semi arid area for their own energy. The place will turn into a desert. There is no sufficient education for their children there. They cannot access universities outside. The children who were born in the refugee camps have married in the same camps. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to do something for the sake of the African fraternity and brotherhood. We are not an imperial country that intends to build. We have to come straight on the issue of the continental shelf. There has never been a dispute between us and Somalia in the past. I think the Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs to come out into the open to say that there is no way Kenya---"
