The long-awaited news has finally been announced by Kenya’s President William Ruto that the border with Somalia will be reopened after a 15-year closure. According to reports from Nairobi, the Kenyan authorities have stated that the border will be reopened in April. The border closure was imposed by Kenya in 2011 due to attacks by extremist groups in Somalia.
Reports indicate that the extremist group, Al-Shabaab, had carried out several attacks in Kenya. In 2013, the group attacked a shopping center in Nairobi’s capital city, resulting in the deaths of 67 people. Two years later, the group carried out an attack on a university in Garissa, resulting in the deaths of 148 people.
The reopening of the border is a significant step towards restoring peace and stability in the region. It is expected that the move will have a positive impact on trade and commerce between the two countries.
