Work on Kenya-Somalia border wall suspended
08 Apr 2018 ( IBTN News Bureau )Kenya has suspended construction of a 700-kilometre border wall after confrontations between security officers and people from a nearby Somali town.
Locals say the partially-built wall has helped prevent al-Shabab fighters from crossing into Kenya.
Hundreds of people have died in attacks by the armed group, but other areas remain unsafe.
