National Intelligence Service

The National Intelligence Service (NIS) appears in recent news in two distinct contexts. First, the Kenyan NIS is responsible for uncovering and reporting on the recruitment of over 1,000 Kenyans to fight for Russia in the Ukraine war. Their report, presented to the Kenyan parliament, details the scale of the operation and implicates rogue recruitment agencies and individuals. This has led to public outcry and demands for the return of those recruited. Second, the South Korean NIS is monitoring North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's daughter, Kim Ju Ae. The agency believes Kim is positioning his daughter as his successor, a shift from their previous assessment that she was merely a 'most likely successor'. The NIS is closely observing developments related to her increasing prominence and potential leadership role within the North Korean regime, including her involvement in the 'Missile Administration'.
