“The recent attacks have forced the government to suspend plans to reopen the Kenya-Somalia border.”
Once again we see a government in Africa that is powerless to stop jihad.
“One killed, several houses torched in Lamu al Shabaab raid,” by Cyrus Ombati, The Star, September 20, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
At least one person was killed and several houses torched in an attack by al Shabaab militants in Widhu area, Lamu county.
Police said the raid happened on Tuesday night when an unknown number of gunmen struck.
Witnesses said the gang torched houses in the raid before escaping. No arrest has been made.
This is the latest incident to happen in the area amid heightened operations to address the terror-related menace….
A major operation is ongoing in the area to address al Shabaab-related attacks, which happen because of among others, the proximity to the main Kenya-Somalia border….
The state has imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew in Salama, Juhudi, Widhu Marafa, Mashogoni, and Ukumbi in Lamu West as part of efforts to enhance operations targeting the terrorists who hide in Boni forest.
The terrorists have been attacking places near the Kenyan border by using guns and explosives leaving dozens dead and many injured.
The recent attacks have forced the government to suspend plans to reopen the Kenya-Somalia border….

I sometimes wonder – is the OAU too gutless to address this issue? Yeah, they do have a number of muslim countries in North Africa, but even a lot of those governments are combating jihadist campaigns. So can’t they come together w/ a plan to combat the jihadists everywhere, whether it’s Kenya or Ghana or Somalia or Nigeria or Cameroon or Congo or Mozambique?
