Kenya is making quick efficient progress in its offensive, as its estimated force of about 2000 push deep inside of Somalia, capturing several towns; killing over 100 militants in the 5 days since the operation begun. Kenyan forces have suffered very little casualties. Most of Kenyas major cites are in the southern half of the country including the capital, Nairobi. The current operations are about 350-400 miles from the capital.

Kenya's incursion into southern Somalia started after the kidnapping of two Spanish women, who were working for Medecins Sans Frontieres at the Dadaab refugee camp. The abductions were allegedly carried out by Al Shabaab militants.[57] The Kenyan government claimed its troop deployment had received approval from the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia (TFG).[58] Kenya's Foreign Affairs Minister, Moses Wetangula, stated that the deployment of Kenyan troops was at the request of the TFG.[59] 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
