BwanaColeI'm supposed to fly from Kampala on Kenya Air through Nairobi back to London a week from Friday. I'm hoping they will have at least the transit stuff sorted out by then! I would hate to have to change my tickets.

RockdocPerhaps they will rebuild something better? Unfortunate a lot of people are inconvenienced.

PalmerThe fire broke out on the 15th anniversary of the bombings by al-Qaida of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam but is not suspected of being an act of terrorism?.
There was not a single working fire truck available. The blaze was fought by officers passing buckets of water.
There was looting of cash and liquor by officers and employees. No use letting it go to waste I suppose.
