Mandera a great lesson on terror war in Kenya

NAIROBI: In Mandera, a court jails 20 quarry workers for refusing to leave their site over security fears. In Nairobi, the Government orders at least 2,000 teachers who have refused to report to work in Mandera for fear of insecurity to go back or face the sack. The teachers as would any other mrotal, said they would rather slip into joblessness than dance with death.

They have been protesting in the city for weeks outside the Teachers Service Commission offices, their tear-glands pricked by memories of their colleagues killed following a terror attack on a bus leaving the county at the end of term three.
