The shocking massacre of 28 people in Mandera brings to the fore, yet again, the challenges of public safety and security in the country. Unfortunately, these attacks have become a common occurrence, differing only in scope, location and intensity.
It is a fair bet, that given the Government's incompetent response to these attacks, this will not be the last incident. At this point, it would be fair to assess the efficacy of the Government's strategy in what is rapidly becoming a low-level counter-insurgency strategy.
