Do more lest terror attacks turn northern region into a no-go zone

As the country commemorates the first anniversary of the terror attack on the dusitD2 Hotel on 14 Riverside Drive in Nairobi that left at least 14 people dead, senior security officers led by Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i are holding high-level talks in Mombasa.

The war on terror is bound to feature prominently on the meeting’s list of deliberations. Not least because the talks are being held at a time when the long shadow of a recent spate of Al-Shabaab attacks targeting public servants in the north-eastern region is looming large.
