Title: KDF still selling makaa with Al Shabaab in Kismayu

$12 million in 2017 is good money for our "disciplined" forces. :D

Shabaab earns at least $10 million (Sh1 billion) a year by shipping charcoal from ports in southern Somalia where KDF units are stationed, the UN panel says.

The UN's Somalia and Eritrea Monitoring Group said last year that Kenyan troops assigned to Amisom were receiving $2 (Sh200) per bag of charcoal illegally shipped from the port of Kismayo.
Kenyan forces' collusion in the illicit trade may have brought them $12 million (Sh1.2 billion) in proceeds, the 2016 report suggested.

I believe it’s the mid level commanders involved.  The grunts are just cannon fodder.  Sitting ducks generating loads of money for their bosses in DOD.
