Ethiopia and simalia have fought many times before.
After independence, the border war escalated with mainly bandits supplied by somalia and soviet union, to which somalia publickly denied, and Kenya's parliament eventualy voted (according to declasified documents) for the preparation of a full scale conventional war with somalia..... but right before, Somalia president ended up signing a ceasfire agreement with kenya which ended the border war..... but just before that happened, somalia was getting some bad ass weaponry and cash from soviet union (at the time, somalia had the largest and most mordern airforce in eaft africa) and thus Ethiopia and Kenya ended up signing a defence pact to come to each other's aid if Somalia attempted anything on the two nations........... That defence pact has been renewed constantly with every succesive governments thst have come to power from the two countries.. thus nor Kenya or Ethiopia has ever interfered with each other (atleast not publicly) when it comes to each of the two countries dealing with somalia.....

read this.....

It has been 60 years since the Kenya-Ethiopia Defence Pact was signed. Although ostensibly formed by the two countries to protect and come to each other’s aid if either were attacked, at the heart of the treaty was, and still remains, Somalia – their civil-war-troubled neighbour.

Okay. So what's the benefit of wearing pink boots in combat?

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23, 2017 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Kenya for Air Tractor aircraft with weapons, and related support. The estimated cost is $418 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale on January 19, 2017.
The Government of Kenya has requested a possible sale of up to twelve (12) Air Tractor AT- 802L and two (2) AT-504 trainer aircraft, weapons package, technical support and program management. The total estimated program cost is $418 million.

This proposed sale contributes to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by improving the security of a strong regional partner who is a regional security leader undertaking critical operations against al-Shabaab and troop contributor to the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM).

The proposed sale provides a needed capability in the ongoing efforts to counter al-Shabaab. The platform maximizes the Kenyan Defense Force's Close Air Support (CAS) ability because it is a short-field aircraft capable of using precision munitions and cost effective logistics and maintenance.

The proposed sale supplements Kenya's aging F-5 aircraft as it will be more fiscally efficient and able to be pre-positioned much closer to the conflict area than the F-5 fleet. The Kenyan Defense force is committed to modernizing its air fleet and is capable of absorbing these aircraft. The proposed sale of this equipment and support does not alter the basic military balance in the region.

The prime contractor will be L-3 Communications, Platform Integration Division, Waco, Texas. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.

Implementation of this proposed sale requires the assignment of at least five contractor representatives in Kenya.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

This notice of a potential sale is required by law and does not mean the sale has been concluded.

All questions regarding this proposed Foreign Military Sale should be directed to the State Department's Bureau of Political Military Affairs, Office of Congressional and Public Affairs, pm-cpa@state.gov.

And they did it for cheap. They don't make noise and corruption is low. They don't have a funny President proposing to buy 4 old aircraft and 4 old choppers for $466million
