Here again, if this sort of things keep up, the Chinese may decide that the region is not worth their time or trouble.
“Four killed in IED attack on convoy in Bura-Garissa highway,” by Cyrus Ombati, The Star, January 11, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
At least four people were Wednesday killed when a vehicle they were travelling in ran over an improvised explosive device along the Garissa- Bura road.
The explosive destroyed the four-wheel drive vehicle belonging to the Kenya National Highway Authority engineers, killing the four occupants, police said.
Police who attended the scene said they recovered three bodies, while a fourth one was badly destroyed in the impact.
A KeNHA spokesperson said the deceased were workers of a contractor working on the road.
Police blamed the attack on al Shabaab militants.
The engineers were in three vehicles and were on a routine assessment of the Lapsset Road when they were attacked by the suspected militants who had placed an IED on the old Lapsset Road, which exploded destroying the first vehicle.
The other vehicles turned back to Hailey camp, which is under police protection.
Police said the team was travelling from Garissa to Hailey Chinese camp then to Bura East when the incident happened.
North Eastern regional police chief George Seda said the attackers escaped from the scene and efforts to trace them were ongoing.
It is the latest incident to happen in the same area. In December last year, two police officers and a civilian were killed in a similar attack.
The terrorists are targeting projects, including the Lapsset port and road. A Chinese company is constructing the Bura-Garissa road connecting Tana River and Kilifi counties….

It’s probably just as well that Chicom workers (note that they never hire locals to do their contract work) get scared out of the area, and better yet, the continent. At least that way, those infrastructure projects won’t end up being owned by Beijing
I was watching a segment the other day describing modern slavery in Africa of people working in mines to extract those rare earth minerals needed for making our batteries, and the scenes were horrific. Like one of the companies kicking a worker for not being more productive, and so on. The WEF has blood on its hands for celebrating China as the world’s manufacturing capital. In the meantime, not a word from the woke artists, who are too busy in their jihad against the fossil fuel industry, which doesn’t involve any of this
