Kenyan woman held over links with ISIS Branch in Somalia
[Garowe] Police in Kenya have been allowed by a lower court to continue holding a woman who is accused of being a member of IS-Somalia, a terror group mostly domiciled in the Puntland
...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion...
state of Somalia, and which has also been trying to dethrone al-Shabaab
...... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia attempting to metastasize into Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and similar places, all ofwhich have enough problems without them...
, another violent mostly peaceful holy warrior group.

The Anti-Terrorism Police Unit [ATPU] will hold Zuena Nakhumicha Machabe for at least 14 days as police gather crucial evidence that will be used for prosecution. He is accused of facilitation and recruitment of the gunnies for the last two years besides acting as the group's advisor.

Machabe is said to have been a top banker in Kenya before allegedly crossing over into the terrorism world in 2021. The mother of three worked with tier two banks before resigning sometime in mid-2021 and allegedly joining a terrorist group affiliated with Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
or ISIS, Puntland in Somalia as a logistician.

Kenya has been fighting terrorism in recent years following surging cases of al-Shabaab and IS-Somalia recruitment targeting youths and even professionals. IS-Somalia however, does not have a record of waging attacks in Kenya, but cases of al-Shabaab raids are rampant along the borders.

For the last 12 years, Kenya Defence Forces [KDF] have been in Somalia fighting the hard boys, helping the country to stabilize in the process. In due course, KDF will be taking part in the second phase of operations against the gunnies in Jubaland and Southwest states.

President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud recently asked Kenya to contribute more soldiers who will take part in the operations. Once they arrive in Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said, the troops will work under the command of the Somali National Army [SNA] for three months.

Somalia has been fighting for stabilization in the costly fight against the gunnies who still control large swathes of rural central and southern regions. The gunnies have, however, lost substantive grounds to the SNA, US Africa Command, and the African Union
...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful...
