Kenya’s internal-security ministry imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew in three districts it described as “dangerous and disturbed,” after violence including the beheading of nine people by suspected Islamist militants.
The curfew was imposed in the eastern counties of Lamu, Garissa and Tana River, acting Interior Secretary Fred Matiang’i said in a statement posted on the ministry’s Twitter account. Sixteen areas within the counties have been designated as dangerous, he said in a separate statement.
