United Nations boost Kenya’s war on terror – Kenyan Business Feed

A completely new United Nations Organisations programme office against terror has been opened in Nairobi.

The United Nations Office of Counterterrorism (UNOCT) will boost national, regional and international efforts to combat terrorism.

During its launch on Wednesday, Interior CS Fred Matiang’i hailed the premier regional office as a pragmatic appreciation of Kenya’s strategic location and its history in fighting terror.

The new office will offer East African region member countries collaborations and partnerships in combating the Al-Shabaab and other terror groups in the region.

It will also coordinate the training and capacity-building of security agencies in modern counter-terrorism strategies.

Kenya has undertaken a war on terror in Somalia since 2009.

The country also provides logistical and tactical support to the multi-country troops stationed in Somalia fighting Al Shabaab.

Challenges in the war on terror and countering violent extremism still persist.
