Ok, is the situation that bad in Kenya? I have dreamt of a trip there, but ofcourse do not want to risk it.

“But the new standards of rallying must be respected. What was possible back then when events ran on open roads is not possible these days with the population. Rallies must now be organized on closed roads, “Todt said.
Shameful that he was once a co-driver.

Umm yeah. Every single one of my family members carries a gun in the glove compartment of their car. And nearly everyone who has attempted to walk at night has had their phones or wallets taken It's unsafe.
If you know who Henry Rollins is then listen to his podcast with Joe Rogan. He's been to over a 100 countries and the most unsafe for him was Nairobi at night. He even mentions being warned by locals to stay in.
Don't think you're going to some country where you can stroll with your backpack and high five people while eating street food. Be safe and enjoy the rally. Drive carefully if you decide to drive and stay in at night or go out to safe areas (malls etc).
The wildlife in Kenya is a dream and I suggest everyone go to safari in Kenya. Masai Mara is amazing!
I've been to Kenya at least 12 times in the last 5 years and nothing has happened. We had a small situation when trying to enter an apartment. A car literally tried to trap us, but when the individual came out of his car, my cousin backed up and drove away quickly. I was shocked, but my cousin then told me to always leave enough space between the car and the gate to make a quick getaway in case someone tries to trap you... yeah not so safe.

You will find it the easiest of all. Love for rally is here i. Africa as well. Let us enjoy the WRC events as well. The people who are negative forget that there sre a lot of us in this part of the world that love rally and would like to see one in real. Rally is the sport where there is love among the fans. Let us join the world to enjoy this spectacular sport.

Apparently there's security concerns over the rally. Not spectator safety issues, but threats of Somali terrorist groups. The rally organizers of course ensure everything will be OK.

Coming from a media perspective. If I'm threatened for my equipment I'd just happily hand it over. Insurance is key. Though if i'm kidnapped then that's a different story. No thanks
