Britons have been advised to keep away from the Eastleigh area of Nairobi and avoid visiting low income areas of the city, including all township or slum areas because of threat of terrorism and kidnapping from Somali extremists linked to Al-Shabaab.
The Foreign and Commonwealth office (FCO) issued an advisory in London on Tuesday (July 16) saying all but essential travel should be undertaken within 60 kilometres of the Kenya-Somali border; to Kiwayu; coastal area of Pate Island and to Garissa District.
A statement from the FCO said, “Attacks have previously occurred in Nairobi, especially, the area of Eastleigh, Coast Province including Mombasa and North Eastern Province. Further attacks are likely.”
The statement however, noted in particular that while local violence does occur at the Kenyan coast, “it is not normally directed towards foreigners.” “There are incidents of crime including mugging, armed robbery and carjacking, particularly in the large cities,” said the FCO.
