Kenya Closes Somalia Border Indefinitely
2019-06-12
[RADIOSHABELLE] The Government of Kenya ordered the closure of its border with Somalia in Lamu indefinitely on Tuesday.

Reports maintained that the border was closed because of security operations aimed at flushing out Al-Shabaab
...... the personification of Somali state failure...
turbans suspected to be operating in the area.

Lamu County Police Commander (CPC), Muchangi Kioi, declared that the border would henceforth be accessed by security personnel only.

Any form of cross-border trade was also banned with Kioi reiterating that no one was exempted from the new directive.

"Those who contravene the new orders will lose their business permits as well as face arrest," the police boss affirmed.

He further declared that any goods confiscated on their way to or from Somalia would be destroyed on the spot.
