While we discussed participatory development this week, I think that, it's important to share the latest news from Kenya. Kenya capital city (Nairobi) has received 2 attacks this weeks from an Al-qaeda linked militia group (Alshabaab). The attacks come as threat from Somali to Kenya for sending it military team to Somali/Kenya border to control proliferation of the terrorist group into Kenya. I'm impressed on how gender mainstreaming Kenya especially in security and defense ministry has increased women participation in what has been often referred as male-dominated careers. If women can be in the front line to protect a nation, then all the world need is appreciation that empowered women need space to exercise their capabilities and I'm sure major societal problems can be solved.
