  • President Uhuru Kenyatta who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces on Saturday visited Kenyan soldiers at the Dhobley Military camp in Somalia to show support to the men and women on the frontline in the war torn country.
    Somalia is one of the deadliest conflict areas of the modern world. Since Kenya's military intervention that country nearly six years ago, many soldiers have died, but have you ever imagined what it feels like to have a close relative in the frontline then hearing news that there has been an attack?
    On NTV Special, young war widows talk about the heartache of losing their loved ones, their memories and the tribulations that follows.

    The government never even cares about families left by soldiers when they go on mission. Sad truth

    everything goes well for the benefit of those who trust in the Lord I lost my husband in a monstrous way to six years ago ,with no job no place to live no nothing with two young kids the people I could turn on too betrayed me those that were there nikustrugles pia nao but I bless the Lord because out of all that he's still faithful he was not a kdf but the pain struggles that we face after the death of our spouse is greater and only us can testify how it feels like. every time I hear of a man's death the wounds in me awaken ones again no woman should go through that painful experience Lord have Mercy us

    Nothing beats death, it is the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone. I hope they find peace and that the Lord provides for them in every way possible.

    Advice to men who love their wives, JIGAWE UKIWA HAI, the day you marry, move out from your father's home and property, go away, build an empire with your wife and kids, yes give your parents something also, maybe build some rentals for them but, put your wife at a very good place, the day you die before doing this, YOUR KIDS WILL SUFFER, YOUR WIFE WILL BE DISRESPECTED.
