Kenyan press calls for change of tack against al-Shabab

Traffickers now smuggle drugs through Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) in parcels, a parliamentary committee heard yesterday.

The private sector’s attitude to fiscal policy has changed fundamentally due to a difficult business environment. Players in the sector now believe that they must shift from neutral to affirmative and vibrant measures that nurture and fast-track economic development.

Somalia's militant Islamist group al-Shabab enters a remote village in north-eastern Kenya, forcing schools to close and people to flee, residents say.

Somalia's Islamist al-Shabab militants are recruiting heavily in north-eastern Kenya, according to evidence gathered by the BBC.

Kenyan fighter jets bomb the al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab group in Somalia, killing more than 80 of its fighters, the African Union (AU) says.

Islamist militants al-Shabab briefly take over a mosque in the Kenyan town Garissa, where they had previously killed almost 150 people at a university.

Suspected al-Shabab militants have abducted and killed a traditional chief in northern Kenya, according to a local elder.

As Kenya begins the construction of a security fence along its border with Somalia in a bid to prevent attacks by al-Shabab, the BBC has gathered evidence that the group is recruiting within Kenya.
