Goal evacuates aid staff amid tribal violence

AID agency Goal yesterday revealed it was evacuating its staff from the Kenyan capital Nairobi amid the escalating tribal violence which has claimed 300 people’s lives.

Trócaire and Concern said their workers would remain in the east African country while the situation is closely monitored.

But Goal chief executive John O’Shea said: “We must put the safety of our workers before all other considerations. Nairobi has become too dangerous in recent days.”
