Emerging news regarding CML Horizons 2019

Dear members and friends of the CML Advocates Network,

You are probably aware of the terrible attack that took place yesterday by terrorists in the Dusit hotel in Nairobi.

These are terrible and sad news indeed. Our thoughts are with the lost innocent victims and their families. We live in a crazy world with crazy people. Terror is taking lives in almost every country and it is so difficult to understand and accept. We must not react rashly, and will not make a decision based on emotion, but rather consider the alternatives and then make a decision.

The steering committee will now study the facts and the extent of the sad event and will discuss the implications of CML Horizons in Nairobi in May.

Meanwhile, we are not stopping registration as we already have more than 20 delegates registered, but we are stopping any activity that increases our costs and commitment like we will not book more flights until the Steering committee discusses the issue and makes a decision.

We are in constant touch with our local member organization, Henzo Kenya, and with our logistics agency Safari Trails to better understand the Situation in Nairobi and all safety steps taken now and in the near future.

We are evaluating the situation and we will come back to our members with more information and the final decision as soon as possible within 2 weeks.

We must decide what is best for Horizons and for all our members and delegates. We will put the safety of our participants at the top of our priority.

It is a sad day.

With our hopes for a better future
Giora and all the CML Advocates Network steering committee members.
