Irked by actions of some Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) that continue to offer legal and other support to suspected terrorists and financiers of the Al-Shabaab, the government has raised the red flag on foreign nations, dissuading them from funding such organisations.

The government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has communicated to the US, UK, Norway and Finland governments, informing them of the status of the “suspect CSOs” and how they are allegedly promoting Al-Shabaab activities.
