Heads of intelligence in the UK and USA have visited Kenya in a week in what insiders see as a move to demand action to forestall a pending catastrophe in the region.
The latest to come to Nairobi was CIA Director, William J. Burns who met President William Ruto at State House in Nairobi on Monday. This was the second trip to Kenya in a year.
Also present was Kenya’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) Director General Noordin Haji, among other top leaders.
It is not clear what prompted Burns to fly to Nairobi but officials said it must be a serious issue.
Among them is the ongoing war in Sudan and DRC Congo which the intelligence community fear may spill over to the region in the coming days.
The ongoing war in the Middle East may also have an impact on the region as terror groups or their sympathisers could be planning an attack on allies or interests in the targeted countries in East Africa.
