As of today, Kenya formally joined the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) as a non-permanent member, for a period of two years.
Nairobi aims to have 'Al-Shabaab' group included in the list of terrorist organizations at the United Nations (UN). This would allow for global action to eradicate this movement, which is responsible for numerous attacks in Somalia and Kenya.
last June, Kenya win membership in the UNSC for the years 2021 and 2022, following elections held by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
