The Saudi Arabian Air Force has today explained circumstances that led
to the impromptu cancellation of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s flight to Dubai and
then to the United States.
Contrary to some sections of mainstream
Kenyan media, the Saudi Arabian Government said they closed Yemen’s airspace on
Thursday night to engage with Shiite Rebels who were trying to shoot down
Saudi Arabian commercial flights.
A General attached to the Saudi
Arabian Air Force said they closed the entire Yemeni airspace from all
commercial flights allowing only military aviation transport flights (MAT) and
surveillance and reconnaissance flights commissioned by the joint military taskforce
conducting raids in Sanaa.
The General said Kenya’s Presidential
Jet was advised to re-route by the Saudi Arabian Air Controllers but they opted
to turn back to Kenya and make a decision from there.

rebels in Yemen for the last two weeks. The airstrikes are part of the U.S-led
coalition against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria.
