The Latest: Obama says US, Kenya working for direct flights President Barack Obama says the U.S. and Kenya are working to launch direct flights between the countries. Obama says eliminating multiple legs of travel to get from one place to the other would be a boon for business and tourism. Kenya's $1 billion tourism industry has suffered in the wake of mass assaults carried out in recent years by the al-Shabab extremist group, which is based across the border in Somalia. Obama says the U.S. Transportation and Homeland Security departments are working with Kenyan officials on the protocols and security issues that must be settled before direct flights can begin. He declined to say how soon that might happen, but said progress is being made. President Barack Obama is warning that corruption may be the biggest impediment to Kenya's growth and opportunities in the future. Obama is speaking in a joint news conference in Nairobi with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta. He says he believes Kenyatta is serious about going after corruption. Obama says it's a basic issue of math for international businesses that are concerned about their profit margins. He says companies will be concerned about doing business in Kenya if 5 percent or 10 percent of the cost of investing is being diverted due to corruption. Obama says the U.S. has seen "all kinds of corruption" in the past. But he says the U.S. over time has showed that when people decide it's a priority to stop it, corruption can be stopped. He says it's critical to go after corruption at the highest level of government and not just at lower levels. Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta says gay rights are a "nonissue" in Kenya and that the issue is not a priority. Kenyatta was asked about gay rights during a joint news conference with President Barack Obama in Nairobi. Obama voiced strong support for gay rights in Africa. But Kenyatta says while the U.S. and Kenya agree on a lot, there are some things that cultures or societies just don't accept. Gay sex is a crime in Kenya punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Kenyatta says it's very difficult to impose beliefs on people that they don't accept. He says his government wants to focus elsewhere. Kenyatta says after Kenya deals with other, more pressing issues such as terrorism, it can begin to look at new issues. But he says for the moment, gay rights isn't at the forefront for Kenyans. Obama says as an African-American, he's "painfully aware" of what happens when a government treats some people differently. He says, "Those habits can spread." I don't know about others but I can't wait to book my next vacation to Kenya.  He want's to make it easier to visit the land of his birth once he doesn't have Air Force One catering to his beck and call!

They could call the direct flights "The Ebola Express". I heard they will be drone flights as no airline can get pilots and crew to go in.

I've seen the word "kenyatta" mentioned a few times in this thread.
I think it would be very racist, to call the new immigrants "kenyattas". And even more racist, to allow the Mexican kids to whack them with sticks. |

You mentioned Obama and Kenya, and this thread is about Kenya, AND you implied that "American" yahoos are the cause for decreased elephant populations in, well, Kenya....so, your "American yahoos" post isnt about Kenya after I showed you where hunting is banned in Kenya? oooooookay.....laugh That's funny, I don't remember implying that a decrease of elephant population was linked to American folk? What I am implying is that poaching is of grave concern in remote Kenya, and yes, there is poaching on private land that involves the locals and wealthy people flown in as "tourists". See, herbivore herds wander off the protected parks and onto private lands putting them at great risk in the name of "saving the farmers crops" It's all very lucrative as a loophole for the rancher. And all your pics are for is illiciting emotional responses. Ill give ya the Trump one though, he is a yahoo.....feel better? Illiciting???? Yes, Illiciting emotional responses is exactly what is needed here, I could care less what you think of the Trump poachers.  |

President Barack Obama says his administration will propose a federal rule banning the sale of almost all ivory across state lines. This will make a big impact on crime here in the US. A federal rule? Why not just issue another executive order? Uhh Mr President? It's not called tourism sending your gun toting yahoos from America to Kenya and shoot up all the wildlife there  I agree... they have made it a sport now ...let alone all of the poachers ... shakes head ...

Wasn't a Spaniard after all... Any questions?
A Minnesota dentist has been identified as the individual who reportedly paid $55,000 to kill Cecil, the iconic lion who lived in Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, reports the Telegraph. The identity of Walter Palmer, an American hunter who was included in a 2009 New York Times feature on big game hunting, was identified by two independent sources, writes the paper. The Telegraph had also seen a copy of Palmer’s hunting permit. The 13-year-old lion, beloved by many who came to explore the park, was allegedly shot by Palmer with a bow and arrow. Palmer is thought to have lured Cecil about a mile out of the park on the night of July 1, and the injured lion was discovered roughly 40 hours later by Palmer’s hunting team who had him shot and killed. Cecil was ultimately beheaded and skinned. The hunters also removed his collar, which is against park’s rules. |
