The British Government has eased its travel advisories against Nairobi's Eastleigh estate. In a statement to newsrooms, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) says it no longer advises against "all but essential travel" to the estate.

The statement said there was no change in the UK government's assessment of the level of terrorism threat in Kenya and promised to amend the language used to describe threats to make it clearer, consistent and more specific.
