List of Terrorist Groups, Terrorist Militants and Enabling Entities.

Following the Garissa Attacks and the need to disrupt flow of cash to terrorist organizations, the Kenyan government has had to freeze 86 accounts related to entities linked to Islamic terrorist organizations. The government has also reined in on Hawala (informal cash transfer systems) businesses whose transfer protocols are vulnerable to terrorist exploitation. The government has instead asked businesspeople (especially those used to Hawala systems) to use the formal banking channels for cash transfer.

This development comes after influential leaders in Wajir, Garissa and Mandera counties pledged that they will name terrorists, terrorist financiers and their sympathizers operating in the area within a period of one week. The move by leaders confirms that there exists terror cells in the region, and that these terror cells collaborate with Kenyans in the region. Nonetheless, the move is commendable as it showcases the dedicated efforts of public-private partnership to rout out the scourge of terrorism in Kenya.

The government of Kenya has also designated the following five entities as terrorist organizations:

1. Harakat al-Shabaab al-Mujahideen (HSM), commonly known as Al Shabaab.
2. Mombasa Republican Council (MRC).
3. Al Qaeda.
4. Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
5. Jama’at Ahl al-Sunnah Li-l-Daw’ah wa-l-Jihad, commonly known as Boko Haram.
