East African Anxieties
I'm trying to field my family's anxieties about me travelling the East African route, 2 up starting from Malawi and heading north through Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, Libya and Tunisia.
Is anyone able to give me a balanced view of the risks involved in light of the continuing drought in Kenya and reports of desperation leading to lawlessness and recent worries of a possible return to instability in Zimbabwe spreading to wider areas. Sudan is also giving them some concern in light of foreign office reports of kidnappings in June of this year. Any comments would be most welcome.
It's not pleasant travelling with the worries of your nearest and dearest on your mind so I need to allay their fears or adapt my route. Thanks in advance for your time. Jerry
