Kenya to Reinforce Border with Somalia Following String of Abductions

Kenya has pledged to reinforce its border with Somalia in an attempt to stem the recent string of abductions carried out by militants.

Government officials have been concentrating their efforts on halting the actions of the Somali insurgent group al-Shabab which it blames for the recent flow of illegal weapons into the country as well as the abductions.

Kenya’s President Mwai Kibaki addressed the issue saying, “Our borders are porous and it is not a place where you can totally keep al-Shabab at bay. But we are trying our best.”

Al-Shabab militants are being blamed for the abduction of three foreign aid workers in Kenya over the weekend, an act that apparently went unchallenged. The Islamist militants have also been seen trying to recruit young men outside a Kenyan school. The group is currently waging an intense war against the Western-backed Somali government and has launched a series of attacks inside the capital city of Mogadishu.
