Mandera Governor Ali Roba said the foreign army is a threat to local security and wants the national government to kick them out.

"The continuous presence of foreign forces within our border has been threatening the lives of our population along the border and Mandera town and we want them out," he said.

Police are holding three people suspected of procuring ammunition from the Jubbaland military camp in Mandera.

The Jubaland Forces loyal to Mr Abdirashid Hassan Abdinur, also known as Abdirashid Janan, the embattled security minister for Jubbaland have been in Mandera since January.

The clash in Mandera town forced Mr Abdirashid camp to relocate from Border Point 1 to Kapedo area after being overpowered by the FGS forces.
