Hundreds of non-local teachers in Garissa have gone to the Teachers Service Commission offices demanding transfers (see P27). The TSC wants the non-local teachers to be transferred to 'safer' subcounties in Garissa but the teachers want to leave completely. Al Shabaab is targeting schools and there have been multiple attacks across the Northeast recently. Knut wants the teachers transferred but Kuppet wants its members to remain but to be trained on how to use firearms. It might be better for security if the army was fighting al Shabaab in Kenya rather than in Somalia.
