Two 20-year-old girls who disappeared last Wednesday have shocked their relatives who have received a message saying that they are in Syria.
If true, the youths will become the first confirmed cases of Kenyans who have joined the ISIS.
According to The Standard the two childhood friends – Salwa Abdalla and Twafiqa Dahir – who are residents of Nairobi’s South C Estate left their homes on Wednesday afternoon and have been missing since then.
However, on Sunday evening, they broke their silence in a message that has brought tears instead of joy to their relatives and a new security headache to the Kenyan government after one of them said that she is in Syria.
Twafiqa Dahir, while chatting with her cousin using the Telegram messaging application, opened up that she had crossed over to Syria.
