The reported presence of Jubaland troops inside Kenyan territory is a dangerous and unacceptable development that threatens national sovereignty, public safety, and regional stability.
The worsening insecurity in Mandera County, culminating in the brutal killing of six Kenyans in an ambush by a lone gunman, demands urgent and decisive action from the government.
We strongly condemn the senseless attack that claimed the lives of relatives travelling peacefully near the Kenya-Somalia border. These were ordinary citizens going about their lives, yet they became victims of an external conflict and an internal security breakdown. Kenya appears increasingly unable to confront the rising insecurity.
