Today marks 9 years since the Garissa University attack. We remember and honor the lives lost and stand with the victims of the attack. @NCTC_Kenya continues to partner with universities to create awareness of the dangers of terrorism and build resilience of educational institutions against violent extremism. In rememberance of those whom we lost, @NCTC_Kenya has today inaugurated the Jasiri Observatory, an online information portal which will be used to sensitize, inform and empower individuals and communities to respond effectively to violent extremist ideologies. The portal will also enhance ongoing efforts to prevent and counter violent extremism. #147Stronger #SecureKe #TuweTayariKuilinda #BeVigilant @PeaceCenter_ @CSMechanism @CTP_Kenya @copkorg @SOWEDKe @KaranjaMuraya1 @CHRIPSKE @irck_info @GarissaGov @Midrifthurinet @Huria_KE @GrassrootIMPACT @ngaosKE @CrimeWatch254 @zaidrehema @iicepkenya @Mustafa_Y_Ali @SFCG_Kenya @theGCERF @tendasasa

The youth and women are the most affected demographics regarding VE. They are vulnerable, and recruiters frequently exploit their desire for identity and belonging. Although the 2016 NSCVE addressed these issues, it needs to be revised to respond to the evolving VE landscape. To this end, @NCTC_Kenya will hold its second X Space on the #NSCVEReview. This time, we seek to contextualize the voices of women and the youth and the critical considerations affecting them in the refreshed NSCVE. The Space will take place on March 28, 2024, from 4pm to 6pm. Join us! @tendasasa @theGCERF @CGW_Kenya @RPPL006 @PeaceCenter_ @Asia_M_Yusuf @RaudhatSayeeda @sindani_susan @CHRIPSKE @_RahmaRamadhan @CTP_Kenya @WAT_Kenya @CSMechanism @gnwp_gnwp @KaranjaMuraya1
