NAIROBI: After being hit by two deadly terrorist attacks in three weeks, Kenya’s government announced a 60-day, dusk to dawn, curfew in the northeastern town of Mandera on Thursday.

Interior minister Joseph Nkaissery issued the order two days after Shabaab militants killed 12 people at a hotel in Mandera town.

He said that the curfew would begin on Thursday and remain in place until December 27.

It would be enforced along a 20 kilometre (12 miles) buffer zone of towns and territory reaching to the Somalia border and will be from 6:30 pm to 6:30 am.
