On June 2, 2026, the @NCTC_Kenya and @EUinKenya launched a localized counter-extremism strategy in Marsabit County to tackle border vulnerabilities, youth unemployment, and online radicalization. The discussions centred on:- Trust Building: A Rights-Based Engagement Charter guaranting informant confidentiality, zero clan profiling, and constitutional compliance. ​30-Day Action Plan: Managed by a joint NCTC-County steering committee, dividing work between a Narratives Team (countering online hate speech) and a Resilience Team (grassroots mediation and elder-led interventions). ​3-Tiered Escalation: Radicalization signals to first be addressed locally by Nyumba Kumi/elders, then escalated to a Joint Working Group for intelligence sharing, or handled via national security containment during cross-border crises. #Marsabit #NSPCVE #SecureKe #SeeSomethingSaySomething

700 NYS trainees were engaged by NCTC on P/CVE sensitization Why it matters: They are now better equipped to question, resist and push back against extremist influence What they gained: * How to recognize and question extremist narratives * Tools to strengthen their mindset against manipulation * Safe ways to report suspicious activities But it went beyond training. They heard from voices with lived experience: * Sheikh Ramadhan Aula, Director @PeaceCenter_, an Islamic Law expert, who challenged harmful narratives and reinforced that faith should never be used to justify violence * A reformed convict who lost 21 years behind bars, reminding them how quickly choices can shape a lifetime * A youth who spoke honestly about peer pressure and using social media wisely This is how we move upstream: shaping mindsets, strengthening resilience, and stopping radicalization before it starts. #SecureKe #SeeSomethingSaySomething #TuweTayariKuilinda @EUinKenya
