Two Cuban doctors have been evacuated from Lamu county. The rather abrupt evacuation comes just days after two of their colleagues were abducted from Mandera county by suspected Al Shabaab militants. She said they were evacuated over the weekend but insisted it had nothing to do with insecurity. Gathoni said the two were simply being taken to undergo guidance and counselling as they were traumatised over what befell their colleagues in Mandera. A security source however divulged to the Star that the move was a security directive heavily hinged on the Mandera abduction.
