Occurences that should foster Kenya’s counter-insurgency efforts

Terrorism is now considered to be the greatest threat to global peace and security. The global menace has had significant financial implications where the efforts by countries to re-stablish after attack have cost a great amount of resources.

The Sydney based Institute for Economics and Peace, in its 2015 Global Terrorism Index estimates that terrorism cost the world $52.9 billion (Sh5.29 trillion) in 2014, the highest since 9/11 attack which was estimated at $51.51 billion in damages. The report further pegs terrorism related deaths in 2014 to 32,700; with 93 countries having suffered attacks, up from 88 the year before.
