This all started when a British tourist Judith Tebbutt, 56, was kidnapped by gunmen from a remote Kenyan resort at Kiwayu, north-east of Lamu Island. The gunmen were believed to be Insurgent Islamist group Al – Shabab in 2012. The gang also shot dead her 58-year-old husband, David Tebbutt.
Since then however, Kenya has sent its troops across the border to Somali to fight the Insurgent groups. The effect on tourism has however been detrimental. There have been a slump in hotel bookings and many pre- booked safaris have been cancelled.
