Why Kenya has no option, but to close Dadaab

NAIROBI: The Garissa University College attack, which led to the untimely death of 146 students and teachers, represents the most reprehensible terror attack against the country since the 1998 US Embassy bombing in Nairobi.

In its wake, the Kenyan government has come up with a raft of interventions including expediting police recruitment to enhance security presence in all parts of the country, pursuing parliamentary approval for further deployment of Kenya Defence Forces in vulnerable spots and ordering the freezing of bank accounts of various institutions allegedly involved in financing terror.
