The pattern that started out as isolated reports has now been verified.
According to a report submitted to Parliament by the National Intelligence Service (NIS), rogue recruitment agencies have trafficked more than 1,000 Kenyans to fight in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
1,000 fighters is equivalent to a battalion or more in military terms, making it a sizable armed cohort that is exported from the nation unregulated.
