Thursday 10 January 2008: Security Update 5.30 p.m.

Once again in Nairobi and Mombasa all is quiet and there has been no change to the situation of calm which has prevailed all week.

All roads between airports and hotels in Nairobi and Mombasa are open and traffic is flowing as normal. All safari departures took place as usual with no problems reported on any of the roads to the parks and reserves. In Mombasa, City tours are operating once again.

In Nairobi, it was reported that a procession of women heading for a prayer meeting at a church near the Hurlingham area were forced to disperse by police as marches, demonstrations and rallies are not permitted at present. This did not result in any serious disturbance or disruption.

There were no reports of any incidents or problems affecting tourists in any of Kenya’s parks and reserves or on any of the roads connecting them.

There are no reports of any demonstrations in Kisumu today but the advice of the Kenya Tourism Federation is that the Kisumu-Kericho-Eldoret areas should continue to be off-limits for tourists for the time being.
