Uhuru in Jordan to Discuss Terrorism

Uhuru in Jordan to Discuss Terrorism

Other regional leaders who attended the closed door talks were Presidents Jakaya Kikwete of Tanzania, who is also the chairman of the East Africa Community, Ismaïl Omar Guelleh (Djibouti) and Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud of Somalia.

The meeting was held with the aim of finding a holistic approach in an effort to counter terrorism.

The member states hope to do this through strengthening efforts in fighting terrorism by maintaining coordination and consultation among various parties in the fight against terrorism.

RADICALISATION

The Horn of Africa Co-ordination meeting comes against the back drop of recent terror attacks in the region and the radicalisation of the youth by Al-Shabaab.

Kenya and other regional States that neighbour Somalia have continued to bear the brunt of terrorism because of instability in the Horn of Africa country.

Although the AMISOM force has secured large portions from Al-Shabaab, the Somali Government still faces many problems in stabilising the sections AMISOM has liberated. (PSCU)
