Kenya will delay the reopening of its border with Somalia owing to security threats posed by Al Shabaab.

Speaking in Garissa on Wednesday, July 5, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki said the earlier plan will be put on hold until the terror threats are neutralized and the two countries engage.
