Kenya’s New Violent Extremism Hotspots An assessment of risk and vulnerability in Marsabit, the Rift Valley and Western Kenya
Dr. Ngala Chome, June 2021
Summary
This report presents the findings of a study into violent extremist (VE) activity in areas of Kenya not historically associated with extremist radicalisation and recruitment. Is VE recruitment taking place in areas outside of the Kenyan coast, Nairobi and the North-East? If so, why is this the case, and how is VE recruitment taking place in these ‘new’ areas? The selection of locations for the study was based on an extensive desk-review of reported cases of VE radicalisation and recruitment.
