Slum Dogs

In the years following King Internationals extensive campaign in Somalia it was evident that while the Tabaraysasho Xornimo had been defeated and scattered beyond repair, there were still many splinters of the original insurgent group operating in the more destabilized areas of eastern Somalia, many taking advantage of the flow of foreign businesses, namely Global Energy Solutions trying to lay claim to the vast expanses of cheap and much of the time unclaimed land due to the large majority of the populace having fled the area to take refuge in neighboring counties. With many of the companies’ investments being threatened, King International was again brought into Somali. Unlike the former contracts pertaining to Somalia, this time King International had to take a less aggressive approach, which ultimately proved costly, on many occasions convoys and escorts were ambushed and with the strict engagement policies, placed in order to cut down on collateral damage, there was, much of the time, little to be done to avoid these confrontations.
