Whether it is Nairobi, Dubai or London, a major airport is the heart to an economy -- especially one dependent on exports and tourism.
Kenya is dependent on both, after it worked over the last decade to become, in particular, a major tea and flower exporter.
A third of all flowers in Europe come from Kenya...

Al-Shabaab militants have crossed over the border into Kenya from Somalia and Nairobi has tried to take a tough line in its counter-terror efforts.
The lead-up to the presidential election provided its own element of uncertainty and violence, not entirely unusual on the continent.
...
A major fire at an airport hub creates its own is a logistical nightmare, but this leads to the question whether there was any link to the U.S. embassy bombing which took place 15 years ago to the day.

Kenya is a 75% Christian nation, gut Obama has given great impetus to the hateful minority Muslims. He forced a power sharing arrangement after the 2007 election when the Christian won but O’s cousin Odinga and his tribe torched churches with people in them and created a reign of terror. O also forced Abortion to be guaranteed in their constitution. He is a world-wide evil.
If there is fuel and the runways are clear, what’s the problem?
Time to stock up on tulip futures.
Of course...it’s terrorism!!! Just put two & two together!!! Putin plays Obama, China plays Obama, Iran plays Obama, Syria plays Obama, Morsi & the Muslim Brotherhood not only play but Obama is with them!!! Go figure!!! America is asleep at the wheel!!!
Read the link. CNN is blowing smoke! The cargo terminal is fine and operating according to one of the comments. Passenger operations are in a temporary facility or moved to another airport. CNN is full of BS as usual.
Here’s a nation trying to build up it’s economy to increase the standard of living for it’s people. In walks some terrorists, and it’s back to square one.
Is there a more devious ideology on the planet, than that heralded by the Islamic terrorist?
Islam, for the sake of Allah whom you profess to worship, are you satisfied that people are committing these acts in your most revered leader’s name?
Help the rest of the world clear the name of your most revered leader. Cast off those who would tarnish the reputation of Allah.
Clean up your own house.
Do it today.
Not wise to have all your eggs in one basket
Thank you for that correction. It’s an important point. Sorry I missed it before I posted.
My comments still have merit based on the overall plight of those who suffer from Islamic terrorism though.
LOL! Yee-Haw! I'm 'investing' now. The sky is the limit...
ObaMao's Luo tribe was able to carry on the slave trade through Zanzibar for another couple of generations because their trade center lay astride British controlled Kenya and German East Africa. The Brit civil servants took pride in serving Queen (and later King) & Country. The German civil servants, not so much. Most German civil servants saw civil service as a way to line their pockets and were happy to wink, wink, nod, nod and ignore the illegal slave trade through Zanzibar in exchange for a piece of the action.
The slave trade was finally ended for good when the Brits took control of German East Africa through the 1919 Treaty of Versailles which ended World War I. The Luo Tribe fought them until the mid-1920s, but finally had to give up and slink back to herding cattle further inland.
The reemerged as the Mau-mau in the 1950s, but Churchill put a stop to that as well. Thus the hatred of all things English and Christian runs back more that 130 years in Muslim Kenya. The main dream of ObaMao's father was revenge. People need to understand why.
BTTT!
Never fear. Hussein will write them a big check on our dime.
Thank you for the history, this explains a lot.
Hopefully, this helps people understand Obama's abject hatred of Winston Churchill and his legacy. Whereas Churchill was a half-breed American (American mother) who rose to the top political post in his country, so did Obama. The Left is like any other religion, only more intolerant and ruthless than most. Obama is their chosen one to undo the wrongs which Churchill did.
