Some passengers are believed to have developed mild symptoms of a stomach illness in South Africa.
A US-led military exercise code-named "Justified Accord" begins in Kenya
on Monday, with more than 20 nations taking part in what has been billed as the
largest event of its kind in East Africa.
The 11-day exercise, which will end next Thursday, is aimed at increasing
participating countries’ readiness for peacekeeping missions, crisis response
and humanitarian assistance, according to state-owned Somali broadcaster
SNTV and Kenyan media.
Dozens of US-trained Somali commandos will take part in the exercise, which private news website Kenyans.co.ke said will
bring together 1,000 personnel and units from 23 nations.
The US military said Justified Accord is its "largest exercise in East Africa".
"Justified Accord showcases the desire of US and partner nations to
increase readiness and interoperability for regional security and crisis
response," the military said.
The US has led similar exercises in East Africa in recent years as the
region grapples with a deadly al-Shabab insurgency and other security
challenges.
