Operation Linda Nchi
Operation Linda Nchi〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=turning on your world » Cabinet endorses 'Operation Linda Nchi' )〕 ("Protect the country";〔(STRATFOR – Kenya's Offensive Against al Shabaab in Somalia ). Stratfor.com (18 October 2011).〕 (スワヒリ語:Linda Nchi)〔(Jets hit al Shabaab, as rain delays march )〕) is the codename for a co-ordinated military operation between the Kenyan military and the Somali military that began on 16 October 2011, when troops from Kenya crossed the border into the conflict zones of southern Somalia.〔 The soldiers were in pursuit of Al-Shabaab militants that are alleged to have kidnapped several foreign tourists and aid workers inside Kenya. According to the Ethiopian Foreign Minister, the operation represents one of the final stages in the Islamist insurgency of the Somali Civil War.〔: "Ethiopia's deputy prime minister and foreign minister Hailemariam Dessalegn said his country is considering joining the military campaign. He said it was 'high time' for a regional response to al-Shabab's provocations. 'The long-term goal is to eradicate al Shabab from Somalia and this is the proper time and the process shows al-Shabab is coming to an end,' said Hailemariam."〕
==Lead up and planning==
Kenya's incursion into southern Somalia started after the kidnapping of two Spanish women, who were working for Médecins Sans Frontières at the Dadaab refugee camp. The abductions were allegedly carried out by Al Shabaab militants. Médecins Sans Frontières issued a press statement at the time disassociating itself from any armed activities and related declarations launched following the abduction.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.msf.org/article/m%C3%A9decins-sans-fronti%C3%A8res-seeks-swift-release-two-abducted-staff-without-use-force-and )〕 The Kenyan government claimed its troop deployment had received approval from the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia (TFG). Kenya's Foreign Affairs Minister, Moses Wetangula, stated that the deployment of Kenyan troops was at the request of the TFG.〔 The Kenyan military said that there was no set exit date for the operation, but the indicator of the mission's success would be a crippling of Al-Shabaab's capacity.
According to ''The Guardian'', "several sources agree() that the Kenyan intervention plan was discussed and decided in 2010, then finalised with input from western partners, including the US and to a lesser extent France", with Nairobi using the kidnappings "as an excuse to launch an operation ready and waiting." On 27 October Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua said Linda Nchi was planned months in advance and had been "going on for quite some time", as well as denied any participation by western forces. The operation reportedly had a high approval rating from the Kenyan population.
On 16 October, Reuters reported that Somali and Kenyan military officials had met over the weekend for talks in the town of Dhobley, situated in Somalia near the Kenya border. According to an unidentified security source, "the meeting was to prepare a joint operation between the two forces ... to launch an offensive against Al-Shabaab rebels who are scattered in different parts of southern Somalia".〔(Kenya launches offensive in Somalia ).
