Otiende Aken and his colleagues died fighting for this country and making us all proud.

R.I.P to all those brave soldiers who have fallen in Somalia. I support and acknowledge all our soldiers who have sacrificed their own time, energy and in some cases, their lives, out in Somalia.

They deserve the utmost respect, respect which at the moment they do not receive enough of.

Past, present, future, we will remember them. Each and every soldier who has shown endless bravery and selflessness in the war against terror by putting themselves out on the line, risking their lives for the good of their nation.
