Abstract
Kenya and the region are facing renewed Al Shabaab terrorist attacks. In recent months, the Somalia-based Al Shabaab made over ten deadly attacks mainly targeting Kenya’s security personnel on patrol, particularly in the coastal and northeastern regions. This has emerged even as the country is reviewing its border policies with Somalia. Kenya seeks to strengthen ties with the Somalia government as a strategy against the Al Shabaab threat.
