The Dutch ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement on Monday warning all Dutch nationals not to travel to Kenya unless it was absolute necessary, according to DPA. Trips to the city of Kisumu in the west of Kenya, as well as Nairobi and Eldoret, should be avoided in all instances, the ministry said in its statement. The Red Cross said that at least 54 people had been killed since Thursday's polls in Kenya, with local television station KTN putting the number at 82 with at least 46 people killed in Kisumu. Violence has continued to rock Kenya after President Mwai Kibaki was returned to power in the contested elections that have inflamed ethnic tensions. So far, no problems with Dutch nationals have been reported. Most Dutch in Kenya are tourists on beach and safari vacations in the area around Mombasa.
