Radicalisation and terrorist recruitment among Kenya’s youth
The Nordic Africa Institute, Conflict, Displacement and Transformation.ORCID iD: 0000-0003-4822-7717
2016 (English)Report (Other academic)
Abstract [en]

With little chance of getting any education or jobs, young slum dwellers in Kenya are easy prey for terrorist recruiters from al-Shabaab and ISIS. Politicians must therefore address the social development of poor neighbourhoods and specifically target the youth. Equally important in order to prevent further radicalisation, this policy note argues, is the fight against corruption.
