East African leaders have protested travel advisories issued by the United States against Africa saying these discourage Americans from coming to Africa and affect negatively on trade and investment on the continent.
The leaders said epidemics and terrorism are global threats that affect nations worldwide but when Africa is affected, countries such as the United States are quick to issue negative travel advisories.

The US regularly issues travel ban advisories to its citizens in foreign countries despite facing its own brunt of global terrorism, violence in its communities and health epidemics.
