Experts also warn that the conflict could affect global oil prices, shipping routes, and supply chains — developments that could indirectly impact African economies.

Escalating tensions in the Middle East are prompting security alerts in several African countries, including Kenya.

Authorities have heightened surveillance and border monitoring as the conflict between regional powers continues to evolve.

Security analysts say global conflicts often have ripple effects across continents, particularly through economic shocks, migration pressures, and security risks.

Kenya has reportedly increased its vigilance to guard against potential extremist threats or regional instability that could arise from the conflict. 

Experts also warn that the conflict could affect global oil prices, shipping routes, and supply chains — developments that could indirectly impact African economies.
