Dahabshiil, which says it’s the biggest Africa-based money-transfer business, appealed Kenya’s suspension of its operations and rejected allegations it finances “terrorist organizations.”
The company is among 85 entities and individuals whose assets Kenya has frozen because they are “suspected to be associated” with al-Shabaab. The sanctions were introduced by the government on April 7 after the Islamist militant group, which is linked to al-Qaeda, claimed responsibility for an attack on a university in northeastern Kenya in which at least 147 people died.
