The government of Kenya in trouble after their bid to include Alshabab as an international terror organization got critics and yet to be blocked.

"We are deeply concerned by a Kenyan government proposal to include al-Shabaab in the separate UN sanctions regime applicable to al-Qaeda, ISIL and their affiliates, which does not provide the same type of exemption for humanitarian assistance"

"The proposal would put the lives of hundreds of thousands at risk without discernible impact on the challenge posed by al-Shabaab,” said Eric Schwartz.

According to the Foreign Affairs CS Monica Juma, the bid will help to secure the country and to get support from the International organizations as indeed Alshabab gets funding from the ISIS.
