Two Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) cadets have been selected to join top military academies in the United States.
Moses Kipsang will join the United States Air Force Academy, while Philemon Munjuri has been accepted into the United States Naval Academy.
These are two of the most respected military schools in the world.
KDF, in partnership with the United States Africa Command (USAFRICOM), held a special event in Nairobi on Wednesday to honour the cadets, during which General Michael Langley, the head of USAFRICOM, said he was delighted to welcome the duo to the US military academies. "I want to take this early opportunity to wish them the best in training and to stay in the US," even as he pledged the US's support.
