Nairobi, Kenya - US Secretary of State John Kerry is scheduled to visit Kenya next month as part of efforts to bolster the anti-terror campaign in the region.

 

Diplomatic sources say Mr Kerry (pictured) will be in Kenya on May 4 to promote security in sub-Saharan Africa. His visit comes in the wake of revelations that the Islamic State (ISIS) is increasingly funding Al-Shabaab militants to launch attacks in the region.
