Question My husband is leaving for missions work in Kenya next week. They have outdoor concerts planned at a soccer stadium in Mombassa. Just wondering what the climate of the country is. Heard about lots of riots after the election. Thanks for any info you can give!
Answer Hi shannon,
Sorry i have not been able to respond as quickly as possible.Kenya has quite allot of unrest at the moment because cause of election violence and some parts of Kenya have been really hit hard.Unfortunately Mombasa is one of those areas and i would advise for your husband to delay his visit till the government has resolved the impending problem.
It would help to know exactly which part of Mombasa he intends to visit so that i could research more an d give you more information.
I shall give you updates especially after tomorrow, because there is a major political rally taking part in Nairobi tomorrow, that may fuel the riots again.
