IDPs who fled al-Shabab in southern Kenya fear returning home
Kenya says al-Shabab has been cleared out of the Boni Forest, but IDPs say it still isn’t safe for them to return.
Kenya’s military says it has pushed Somalia-based al-Shabab fighters out of Boni Forest that lies along the border between the two countries.
The armed group has used the area as a hideout from which to launch attacks.
But people who’ve been displaced by the fighting are scared to go back home, fearing attacks by herders living inside the forest.
