The US Military Base In Kenya.

While Kenya as a Major Non-NATO ally weighs up a significant Military cooperation with US, Kenya carries load of accomodating its super ally. What US did not reveal is that Kenya ceded 50acres for US to build a permanent base in Wajir.

⛔️THREAD Image
Excl: While it has been long covered of an existing US Military base in Wajir,Northern Kenya, I can now reveal existence of a US military base that has been operational & turning to be a home of US soldiers & Militarywares withdrawn from the Rebellious African states.
Findings indicate the US multibillion base in Wajir begun construction early 2022 by KDF ceding about 50 acres of land within where KDF has the WAJIR Airforce base & Army camp. The Base is btwn the Wajir Army camp & the WAJIR Airstrip providing grounds to operate quitely.
Separated by a mere 200 meters the US Military Base is within significant Kenyan bases that have provided its cover up including the Wajir Airforce Base, Wajir Airport, Border Security Camp and Wajir Army Camp which all are within the same perimeter fence.
To alienate the US base from Kenyan bases, a higher perimeter fence is raised while US heavy investment is manifested right frm the gate of the base. While it may not be easy to realize a US base exists a contrast between all bases indicate disparities.
Despite bordering Kenyan Military camps & base no Kenyan is allowed inside the US Base. Initially & what has been told is; it's a Joint Military base for Military exercises.
Here is the Twist; While it would be hard to establish a permanent base in Kenya, the US had to act swiftly with the emerging aspect of its soldiers being kicked out of African states Moreso the Sahel countries of West Africa.
In the Horn of Africa US has faced Military obstacles in Djibouti, opting to slowly begin withdrawing its troops. The Question begs; why would the Biden Administration that has been in power for 4 years decide to declare Kenya a Major Non-NATO ally months to the election?
Also why the Major Non NATO ally status the period when US forces are being Kicked out in some African countries & US losing those countries to Russia ?
Late 2023 August, I have established that indeed an American Airforce aircraft landed in the Wajir airbase carrying soldiers & military wares from Djibouti. This would then mean the Wajir Base had begun to be operational. Image
The contradicting revealed information of an incoming base has been a decoy to indicate the Base would be established after Kenya was declared a Major Non-NATO ally by the US ,while it has long been operating. Image
While listing Kenyan benefits pacts on the Major Non-NATO ally status, the US didn't indicate in return Kenya will be housing its soldiers in a newly going to be built base? Because this Base existed & it’s visibility only awaited the declaration of Kenya as a Non-NATO ally.
This status would then elevate the defense cooperation allowing the US have a permanent base in Kenya. As we speak the base is operational awaiting to be now be fully operational.

🎥US Airforce Aircraft lands at the Wajir base late last year.(The only time it did so)
What the US is left struggling with, is locating a country within Central Africa or East Africa where they will transfer their Largest Drone base in the world which has been based in Niger. American kicked out troops will be out of Niger by September.
Further into the Major Non-NATO ally pacts: While announcing the delivery of 8 Huey & 8 MD-500 military Helis, the US stated the work the Helis will perform and I Quote ....
..“to bolster its (Kenya’s) ability to provide regional peace and security (8 Huey’s) and participate in peacekeeping missions (8 MD-500s).” This statement from my analytical perspective indicating a planned yet not declared looming Military action in the region.
With Excl info of an existing, now to be US permanent base in Kenya, back to the additional pacts listed in the US announcement that:The U.S. had prior appointed 7 advisors in Kenya & that it will deploy a Strategic Logistics Advisor to Kenya’s MOD purpotedly to help Kenya.
Told.. "The announcement of joint Military exercises is a decoy to deploying American Soldiers permanently in the base."

While this piece does not discredit the Major Non-NATO ally status , the details herein demonstrate in return what the US benefits from the cooperation.
America’s relationship with once strong allies like Ethiopia, Djibouti has continued to shrink whilst Tanzania & Uganda remain cold on their relationship with the US. Political instability in Sudan pushing America while Rwanda stays stagnant.
The US therefore finds itself with a super ally in East Africa and establishing a permanent Military base in Kenya would grip the East Africa region,Horn of Africa & Central Africa away from any form of Military invasion by Russia & China as the case with West Africa.
To cater for that US designated Kenya as the Host of some of the largest U.S. military exercises, including Exercise JUSTIFIED ACCORD – the second largest U.S. military exercise in Africa. This set to expand joint training exercises with several countries.
A top official in the know of the Military landscape indicated “The plan to transform Wajir Airstrip into an East Africa NATO logistics base is probable...”

Part 1 ends.

In my next piece ,we now cross border into Somalia.

This Woman...

Meg Whitman US ambassador to Kenya, flew back to the US & accompanied Pres William Ruto each day of his state Visit. Wealthy, politically appointed US ambassadors majorly land easy posts in Europe, but Biden saw Kenya would be a better fit for her. Why?

⛔️Thread Image
Previous US ambassadors in Kenya have seemingly majored on Security & Governance affairs in their relations. This hugely making them seem to interfere with Kenya’s internal affairs.

2/
When Meg Whitman arrived in 2022, she received a political back clash for seeming to meddle with the aftermath of 2022 Presidential election which President Ruto won & Raila Odinga narrowly lost. Which served as a background warning!

Kenya’s Secret payback to US?

Excl: In the wake of US intend declaration of Kenya as a NON Nato ally & the subsequent announcement by Pres Biden’s regime to support Kenya’s Military including deliveries of 16 Gunship aircrafts , the question is why Kenya ?

⛔️Thread…. Image
US interest in heavily pouring Billions in Kenya’s defense partnership is a gesture of hidden reward the super ally expects from Kenya. In the Defense cooperation, US among other agreements announced Kenya will participate & Host the largest U.S Military exercises in Africa.

In addition announcing Delivery of 16 US manufactured Military Helicopters . (8 Huey’s) and (8 MD-500s) which will be delivered in phases up until mid of 2025.

KENYA-US HAITI MISSION :
President Ruto has recognized that our security capability in the Global South is a ground on which to showcase Kenyan leadership on the Global plot.Therefore, US views Kenya as its key player in extending its imperialism.

Inside Haiti begins.

⛔️THREAD. Image
USA picked out Kenya as the lead in the Haiti mission hence selling to Americans that the US isn't going to commit to any foreign Military occupation. Unlike what Brazil 2004 peace mission was, this time US wants Haitians to feel that Kenya a ‘black’ nation comes there as a..

...brother unlike Brazil who Haitians felt were Modern colonizers. Kenya has in the recent years strategized it's Military & security capability to place itself in a position to influence the Global south.

#Alshabaab attacked Ethiopian soldiers on Sept 17 2023, they've today released a propaganda video claiming they killed around 250 soldiers. In the 55mins clip, Leaders of the "deadly" attack are two swahili speaking Militias I have identified them as Kenyans.

Thread.....1/6 Image
After the attack, following day #Alshabaab released over 120+ photos showing that they had killed many soldiers. I have closely reviewed today's Propaganda video & contrary to what Alshabaab says, a bigger part of the video was acted to achieve their Propaganda.
