Abstract
In the last 20 years, terrorism or violent extremism have become security realities, and national social challenges with increasing numbers of young people being recruited to Al-Shabaab and other terrorist group. In many parts of the country -- but more so in the coastal and northeastern regions -- violent extremism has also become a social problem for communities and families that have seen their young men and women embrace the extremist ideologies of groups like Al-Shabaab and even sign up as active members. For governments in East Africa and the Horn, terrorism is now a regional security question and a foreign policy priority.
