Kenya's Garissa University Tragedy
The Institute for Defense Analyses Africa Watch published on 16 April 2015 a short article titled "Another Kenyan Tragedy--A Pattern Too Familiar" by George W. Ward. It concludes the attack demonstrates both al-Shabaab's resilience and its evolution from a popular resistance movement to a full-blown international terrorist organization. It also points out that al-Shabaab is becoming more deeply rooted in Kenya itself and the Kenyan government's response to the attack is following a policy that only exacerbates the problem.
