Hope you're right there sasless. Trouble is these terrorists are trying to turn this into a religious fight even though the troubles in Somalia were never centred on religious divide but the typical abuses of power which are prominent all over the continent.
But, if they succeed in making it a religious war I don't expect Kenya or any of the East African nations can expect much help from the US as your beloved Barack Osama is strongly opposed to Christianity and is trying to rid any trace of it from your military for a start, see the video in this link from around 3 mins onwards, the one dated (9.13.13).
For those working out here or planning to, all I would say is take care.

Security in East Africa
I can't believe what I'm reading here: I've been living in EA for the last five years with my family, been deployed from Mozambique to Sudan, and I never really felt threatened anywhere I went! Terrorism in EA exists, but is nothing compared to the "normal" criminality. Would be interesting to compare how many people have been killed due to terrorism against road accidents!
Also I'm not sure I agree with your point of view regarding white people in Africa...The world has changed since the 60s for sure, but as far as I'm concerned I can't complain about being threatened because of the color of my skin.

I agree with Bender, two years in East Africa and I've never felt threatened in the slightest. Fear mongering seems to be a big part of today's culture, but dive in, things are never as bad as most people make them out to be.
