Lamu county recorded only four al Shabaab terror attacks in 2020 - the fewest ever - compared with previous years. This has made terror attacks in Lamu county almost impossible. Elder Abdalla Shukrie of Mangai village in Boni forest said the reduced terror attacks this year were a grim reminder that the war on terror can be won with the right tactics. The IDPs mostly from Pandanguo, Jima, Poromoko, Kakathe, Maleli and Nyongoro villages fled after Shabaab killed several people and torched their houses. Others were asked to move to the camp to allow for Linda Boni security operations.
