The International Crisis Group posted on 22 July 2020 a briefing titled "How to Shield Education from Al-Shabaab in Kenya's North East."
Northeastern Kenya has proven fertile ground for al-Shabaab. It is trying to expel teachers it views as outsiders of majority-Muslim northeastern Kenya. The Kenyan government response--to evacuate non-native teachers--has shuttered the area's schools. Nairobi should supply funds to hire local teachers (if they exist) while it works to restore security.
