Project Summary

Search for Common Ground (Search), in partnership with Ijara Women for Peace (IJW) and Tana River Peace Reconciliation and Development (TRPRD), has secured funding from The US Department of State-Bureau of Counterterrorism and Counter Violent Extremism (CT) for a 24-month program with the goal to strengthen the role of families and community influencers to prevent recruitment into VE groups in at-risk communities of Garissa and Tana River Counties. The project will equip families and peer influencers in communities with knowledge and skills to act as “front-line” actors in recognizing early warning signs of radicalization, and connect them with support structures and networks to share their fears and concerns, overcome stigma and trauma, and devise solutions to stem VE recruitment in at-risk communities of Garissa and Tana River Counties.

The primary target group for this program will be boys and men in the social and family networks of individuals at-risk and disengaged VE militants. However, as much as men and boys are primary targets for Al Shabaab recruitment, so are their female counterparts, recruited by both male and female Al Shabaab recruiters. In addition, based on the information available to us, female relatives (mothers, wives, sisters) also play an important role in pushing male individuals into the social roles and expectations that can ultimately lead them to accept joining a VE group. Traditionally, in the Kenyan-Somali conflict negotiation set-up, women are not actively involved but have a considerable amount of power to pull strings and influence their husband’s decisions. This assumption will be tested in the framework of this study.

The project is founded on the premise that families and friends of individuals at risk of radicalization are understandably reticent to draw attention to themselves or seek help. Families and friends play a crucial role in shaping attitudes and beliefs during adolescence, and thus have the power to either incite or “dampen a propensity toward violence”. A social network analysis conducted by Search in Northeast (Mandera) and Coastal Kenya found that youth at risk of radicalization overwhelmingly turn first to peers their age (friends, siblings, young members of the extended family) for advice and inspiration, followed by other family members. However, our analysis also showed that friends and families are usually ill-equipped to offer constructive, tangible solutions that can address the grievances that facilitate terrorist recruitment, making the offers of VE recruiters seem all the more appealing. Research also points to a correlation between dysfunctional families (“absent parents” able to offer positive authority models) and increased vulnerability to recruitment, a void that VE recruiters exploit by posing as mentors and father-figures. The role of women recruiters is also profound as they have the ability to recruit both men and women through kinship networks or their relationships with peers or students, and it is easier for them to create bonds, socialize, and promote sisterhood and belonging.

The theory of change (ToC) underpinning the rationale of this project is: if families and community influencers gain the skills to identify and respond to early signs of radicalization in at-risk youth and if they have the community support structures and spaces to collectively address youth grievances and transform VE narratives, then recruitment of at-risk youth in Garissa and Tana River counties will be reduced.

The goal of the project is to strengthen the role of families and community influencers to prevent recruitment into VE groups in at-risk communities in Kenya. It pursues three objectives, supported by six expected results:

O1. To increase the capacity of family members and community influencers to understand and address family and social processes and dynamics that drive recruitment in at-risk communities of Garissa and Tana River counties.

ER1.1. Family members, community influencers and local authorities have increased knowledge of recruitment techniques and radicalization processes linked to family and community expectations of youth and how to identify early warning signs of VE in youth and children.

ER1.2. At-risk youth learn alternative ways to fulfill social expectations non-violently and confidence to increase their resilience to recruitment.

O2. To strengthen family-based, community-led support structures for youth in at-risk communities of Garissa and Tana River counties.

ER2.1. Families in at-risk communities have safe spaces to identify, discuss and implement community-based solutions to address VE issues related to social dynamics and expectations of boys and men, in coordination with local state and non-state services and initiatives.

ER2.2. At-risk youth have access to diverse and relevant mechanisms that support healthy and non violent masculinities as a resilience to VE recruitment.

O3. To strengthen narratives that promote healthy, social expectations of boys and women that will deter from VE recruitment in at-risk communities

ER3.1. Perceptions around the roles that male leaders and influencers in marginalized, at-risk youth can play in communities are positively transformed.

ER3.2. Family and community-based role models of support to community members (at-risk youth, families of VE militants, etc.) affected by VE are promoted and celebrated in communities.

In his 24 years of ruling the country, he was a man everyone revered and feared. Nobody wanted to cross his path for fear of facing the music. However, just like every coin, he too had his other side. There is much more to this man than what we knew.

At 94, Kenya’s second president Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi has for a long time been believed to be living healthy by having vegetables from his vast Kabarak farm as his meal. However, sources reveal that is not the case. In real sense, he is a ‘carnivore’, slaughtering a sheep every day for his meal. One would therefore wonder how at his age, he appears to be so strong. Perhaps his longevity can be attributed to genetics, and not food. His family is after all known for longevity.

Diet aside,  Lee Njiru  shares some of the valuable lessons he got from his boss, Moi:

Laughter is the best medicine

He laughed very often, even in public. Whenever comedians such as the late Ojwang came to perform at State House, he laughed heartily.

And then there were also presidents who used to make Moi laugh. One time we went for a State visit to Cyprus, whose President, Glafcos Clerides, was over 80 years old at the time.

During the State dinner, he made a few jokes which made Moi laugh — although he was slightly embarrassed, but all the same he laughed.

Listen to people’s advice

There was a man called Amos Kandie. He wanted to be MP for Baringo Central, challenging Moi for the seat.

The international press was there on the eve of presenting nomination papers, not to cover the presentations, but the expected manhandling of Kandie for challenging Mzee.

Because I knew what was happening, I went to Mzee’s presidential suite. I stood at the door, waiting for him to wake up. “What is it?” he asked me when he finally opened the door to head for breakfast.

“Your Excellency, give me one minute.” “What?”

“Just one minute Mzee. Last night I threw a party for a battery of international journalists. They are here, but they have actually not come to cover you presenting the papers, they have come to cover your security people beating up, molesting and tearing Kandie to pieces … that is the news they want,” I told him, and then continued.

“Mzee, don’t let the security people spoil your name. And when you present your papers, just greet him. You will frustrate all these journalists.”

“OK, leave it to me,” he responded. At breakfast he pretended we had not met. “Can somebody call the OCPD for me?” he asked. “Also, call the DC here. And where is my security chief?”

When they came, he told them not to rough up Kandie. “Don’t touch him. If anybody touches him, I will sack him. I want him to be given VIP security. Do you understand?” “Yes Sir,” they all responded.

Mzee went and presented his papers, and as he was coming out, he met Kandie. “If you have done something commendable for Baringo people, they will elect you,” he told Kandie. “But if you have not done anything, I am sorry, you will not get any votes.”

That man, he got … I don’t think he got even 1,000 votes, but Mzee got over 35,000. So sometimes we intervene to save situations, because he did not know what was being planned.

Let your guard down sometimes

One time, while visiting the late GG Kariuki at his home, one of Moi’s jacket buttons fell off. The entire presidential team had guns of all types, including rifles and grenades, but we did not have a thread and a needle.

GG Kariuki’s daughter Nyakinyua came to the rescue but she was full of fear. How do you touch the president’s jacket, you can get shot!

So Mzee asked: “Nyakinyua, wewe uko na sindano? Do you have a thread?” She said yes. “Can you fix it for me?”

Mzee removed the jacket and handed it over to the lady. She went into one of her rooms and fixed the button. We were overwhelmed and ashamed because we had everything, but we could not fix a button!

Lee Njiru remains indebted to the man who has protected him. For that he is forever grateful.
