]]> Kenya’s beefing up security along its border with Somalia after an increase in the number of cross-frontier attacks by the terrorist movement Al Shabaab.

The country’s security forces are already at full stretch ensuring an orderly election on August 8.

Being popular with tourists, Lamu and other islands  along Kenya’s  Swahili Coast need special protection from the Al Shabaab terrorists operating there.

Their attacks are  aimed at stopping Kenyan authorities helping the Somali government in its anti-terror operations.

They also earn the publicity-hungry  militants airtime and frontpage attention.

The residents of the this region live in fear of the terrorists, but they also want to use this campaign to address their lack of trust in the government and its treatment of Muslims.
