The British Foreign and Commonwealth Office added to the severity of anti-travel advisories for British visitors to Kenya by adding a UNESCO World Heritage site. eturbonews.com reported that reacting to recent attacks in the wider Lamu county which resulted in dozens of deaths, UK has now included Lamu itself to areas now declared as off limits. Lamu is the location for a new harbor and launch point for the new LAPSSET links by road, rail, and pipeline to South Sudan and Ethiopia, is connected with daily flights from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to allow tourists easy access to the remote town where visitors regularly feel like stepping back in time. Truth told, those attacks exposed Kenya as a country weak on intelligence gathering and weaker even on the ability to prevent such an attack, or fight them off, eturbonews.com reported.
