Preventing Violent Extremism: Understanding At-risk Communities In Kenya |
Al shabaab, Daesh, Kenya, Atirusk communities, Violent Extremism
The study identified information almost exclusively about Al-Shabaab activity, which is likely a result both of its prominence in Kenya and the research’s sampling strategy based on social networks. Daesh appears more likely to target individuals who are educated, middle-class professionals. In contrast, the study participants came primarily from lower socio-economic backgrounds and communities highly affected by VE.
