The militant Islamist group al-Shabab has become synonymous with violence and political instability in Somalia. \nThey have also carried out devastating attacks in surrounding countries.\nIn response, many of Somalia\u2019s neighbours have sent troops to help fight the insurgency.\nAmong them are many thousands of Kenyans, some of whom have given their lives in the operation.\nKenya has never acknowledged the deaths of these soldiers. And the government does not release details on how many have been killed.\nOne family is speaking out as they bury a son killed last week. They say this has to change.\n \n#AfricaDaily
