Six years after Al-Shabaab attack, Kenya, US test Manda Bay defences
Six years after an Al-Shabaab attack exposed vulnerabilities at the Manda Bay military base in Lamu, Kenyan and US forces have conducted their first ever multi-unit joint exercise involving the defence of the entire facility.
The August 27 exercise, which was made public over the weekend, brought together Kenya Defence Forces and US military personnel to rehearse responses to threats ranging from suspicious activity and mortar attacks to explosive hazards, fires and medical emergencies, according to the US Africa Command.
