Kerry Urged to Address Police Abuse in Kenyan Anti-Terror Ops
[Voice of America] NAIROBI—As U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry prepares to discuss security cooperation, trade and human rights with Kenyan leaders, rights groups are urging the top American diplomat to use his visit to address alleged abuses by Kenyan forces in their anti-terror operations.
Kerry’s visit to Kenya comes on the heels of the devastating terrorist attack on Garissa University College in the northeast, which left 148 people dead, most of them students.
The al-Qaida linked militant group al-Shabab, an enemy to both Kenya and the United States, claimed responsibility.
Tom Mboya, a governance consultant in Nairobi, says security cooperation has to be a central issue during the secretary’s visit.
