Dear Lizette,

Please note, 70% of Kenyans (led by politicians and media opposed to Christianity) voted to entrench/elevate one religion in the Kenyan constitution. In 2010, peace loving Kenyans were literally grenade/bombed at Uhuru Park while praying against increased terrorism (including baby killings) in Kenya. This was before Kenya engaged in military action to contain regional terrorism.

The Kenyan State is funding courts/judges/counselors, exempted by the constitution from the bill of rights, exempted from the principles of equality. These exemptions are explicitly stated in the Article 24 (4) of the constitution.

While appointments to public service offices are not to discriminate on the grounds of gender, ethnicity, religion, etc... cheered on by Western donors, Kenyans entrenched in the 2010 Constitution judicial positions requiring practice and study of one religion and open only to males. A case of promoting "equality" in their nations but supporting inequality in a "primitive" nation.

What does this mean? We are in a state of long term vigilance and are not migrating. Travel advisories will not change our constitution or reduce terrorism in the region. Only increased transparency (which reduces poverty for all) will.

Kind Regards

Hey, the american embassy isnt the only source of informaton. The UN also puts out warnings info and others too.

In the american warning you have shown, it does mention about the threats in Nairobi and the coast. Which was what the warning I sent mentioned in more detail. But initially around the same thing.

Whilst it was not intended in any way to spread fear, It was to keep people alert as the threats are very real whether it is exact or not. We need to be vigilant even whilst we try to shake what happened off and try and get back to normal. It is not easy considering the magnitude of the events.

Hey, you have the right to ignore it and so does every one else. These are dangerous times and we need to take note of anything that is put out there. I happen to have spoken to a very senior Police representative and was informed that they are now going to check on all reports they receive irregardless.

It was not up for debate. Only out of concern for others.

The US embassy has not put out a warning about specific numbers of
people. I am on their mailing list for security warnings and this is
the only message I have gotten in the last 48 hours:

SECURITY MESSAGE FOR U.S. CITIZENS

U.S.Embassy Nairobi

September 28, 2013

KENYA TRAVEL WARNING

In case you missed it, we are resending the below travel warning to
make sure all U.S. citizens in Kenya are aware of the latest
security-related information

1. In light of the recent attack on a Nairobi shopping mall, the U.S.
Department of State has reissued its Travel Warning of July 5, 2013,
which warns U.S. citizens of the risks of travel to Kenya. U.S.
citizens in Kenya, and those considering travel to Kenya, should
evaluate their personal security situation in light of continuing and
recently heightened threats from terrorism and the high rate of
violent crime in some areas. The levels of risk vary throughout the
country.

2. On September 21, 2013, suspected members of the Al Shabaab
terrorist organization, an Al-Qaeda affiliate, attacked the Westgate
Shopping Mall in Nairobi, killing scores of innocent people, both
Kenyan and foreign, and wounding many others. The siege at the mall
continued for several days and five U.S. citizens were confirmed
injured in the attack.

3. The U.S. government continues to receive information about
potential terrorist threats aimed at U.S., Western, and Kenyan
interests in Kenya, including in the Nairobi area and in the coastal
city of Mombasa. Terrorist acts can include suicide operations,
bombings, kidnappings, attacks on civil aviation, and attacks on
maritime vessels in or near Kenyan ports. Although the pursuit of
those responsible for previous terrorist activities continues, many of
those involved remain at large and still operate in the region.
Travelers should consult the Worldwide Caution for further information
and details.

4. Kenya initiated military action against al-Qaida affiliate
al-Shabaab by crossing into Somalia on October 16, 2011, and on June
2, 2012, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) whereby it
formally joined the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). Kenyan
troops within AMISOM are now actively pursuing al-Shabaab in
southeastern Somalia. In response to the Kenyan intervention,
al-Shabaab and its sympathizers have conducted retaliatory attacks
against civilian and government targets in Kenya.

5. In the past year and a half, there have been numerous incidents
involving shootings, grenades, or other explosive devices in Kenya in
addition to the attack described above. More than two dozen of these
attacks occurred in North Eastern Province, mainly in Dadaab, Wajir,
Garissa, and Mandera. Four attacks occurred in Mombasa. Twelve grenade
and improvised explosive device (IED) attacks have occurred in
Nairobi, illustrating an increase in the number of attacks and an
advance in the sophistication of attacks. Targets included police
