Residents of Mandera's Border One Post (BP1) staged protests on Tuesday against the continued presence of Jubbaland forces, claiming the foreign troops are fueling insecurity and preventing children from attending school due to fears of abduction and forced recruitment. This follows reports of Jubbaland forces allegedly setting up camp inside Mandera County after clashes with the Somali National Army.

• Mandera Governor Mohamed Khalif expressed concerns, stating the spillover of Jubbaland forces into Kenyan territory poses a direct threat to local security and national sovereignty, revealing a public school was closed and converted into a military training camp.
• Former Defence Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa criticized his successor, Defence CS Soipan Tuya, for her "deafening silence" regarding the alleged violation of Kenya's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
• The Kenyan government has yet to issue a statement concerning the reported presence of foreign forces on Kenyan soil.
