Kenya finds itself in the middle of the global war on terror simply by dint of our geographical location.
High-profile attacks have kept Kenya on unyielding high alert.
The general security situation in Africa, Kenya included, has markedly improved since the 1990s. Bu there are challenges, specifically on emerging violent extremis and ideological radicalisation-related terror frontier. The metamorphosis of ideological- and religious-inspired terror activities into a trans-national and multi-dimensional phenomenon presents big challenge to states security, safety and stability today.
Kenya finds itself in the middle of the global war on terror simply by dint of our geographical location in a neighbourhood vulnerable to ideological extremism. The ease of access through porous borders, the Indian Ocean shoreline’s proximity to the Middle East and Kenya’s geopolitical and diplomatic associations play a role in attracting hostile sentiments from terrorist ideologues.
