Barely a week after restoring diplomatic ties, Kenya has banned all flights to and from Somalia with immediate effect. 

Although no reason was given, Kenya Civil Aviation Authority Director General Captain Gilbert Kibe said it was an order they are implementing and Kibe said he would not disclose details of who gave the orders and why.
