A warning of “unrest and increased tension” in Mombasa has come from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office after the death of a prominent cleric yesterday (Tuesday).
“There is a possibility of further disturbances in the Mombasa area,” the FCO said in an updated travel advisory for Kenya.
“You should follow the local news, look out for further updates to this travel advice, and remain vigilant at all times.”
The new advice follows explosions in the Eastleigh suburb of Nairobi on Monday which resulted in a number of fatalities with many more injured.
A number of worshippers were killed during an attack on a church in Likoni, Mombasa on March 23.
“There is a possibility of further disturbances in the Mombasa area,” the FCO said. “Likoni is the area where the ferry runs from Mombasa to Southern beach and tourist resorts.”
