Al-shabaab militants have resorted to using donkeys to ferry smuggle weapons into the country as they target security installations in North Eastern area where where they have launched a series of attacks.

The attacks by the Somalia based terrorists have affected lives in the region and hit education sector forcing tens of teachers who are non-locals to keep off their stations of work.

The terrorists have repeatedly targeted Mandera and Garissa where they have hit civilians and security officials by planting explosives on the routes used by Kenyans.

Recent attacks indicate the insurgents are now back in the area and hiding among locals as they halt operations in Garissa county where they have killed 15 people within the last two weeks.
