#Kerry in #Kenya for Regional Security Talks

Local Editor

With a peace deal unraveling in South Sudan and extremist attacks continuing in Somalia, US Secretary of State John Kerry met with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta in Nairobi Monday.

A statement from the Kenyan presidency ahead of Kerry’s visit said discussions with Kenyatta would focus on "regional security and stability" including S Sudan where a civil war has been raging since December 2013, Somalia where elections are due next month, and Burundi in the throes of a political crisis since April 2015.

Kerry is expected to focus his attention on S Sudan and shoring up a year-old peace deal that has so far failed to end the conflict.

He is due to travel to Nigeria Tuesday before leaving Africa for Saudi Arabia Wednesday.
