half-sister. even before his visit, obama's image was everywhere. kenyans have many reasons to be excited about the president's trip. >> i am very sure obama's visit [inaudible] really want to make things work and kenya and our election count and our vote count in kenya but too our economy to grow in kenya and [inaudible] reporter: as usual security preparations are enormous. 10,000 police officers nearly 1/4 of kenya posto worse, are being deployed in nairobi. many roads are blocked and shops closed. obama also met members of his family. the president cost 93-year-old stepgrandmother is made a special trip to nairobi.

come to kenya. anchor: we understand the security is extra high there in kenya. do you get the sense that the president is a man in danger in the country? reporter: it's a difficult question to answer. i think he is as safe here is if he would be if he was in the united states flag by his security personnel. there has been a lot of security detail that has been assigned to him. a lot of measures have been put in place to make sure not only is he safe, but everybody who is attending the summit tomorrow as well. anchor: thank you very much. staying in africa, burundi's president has been reelected to a third term. the country's election commission said he won over 69%

of the vote, giving him a first round victory. his decision to seek a third term plunged the small east african nation into its biggest crisis sleeps the end of its ethnically charged civil war in 2005. nkurunziza's candidacy was denounced as unconstitutional by the opposition. we went to get to our correspondent in burundi for us. 69% of the vote, that sounds like a major victory following a coup and major protests. how do you explain this outcome? reporter: the election was conducted in a moment of fear and panic and everybody was really fearing that something

bad can happen in this country. nkurunziza is quite popular in the countryside because they shut down all the independent media, every kind of information source that was independent was literally shut down. the people voted for him because he was campaigning and promising peace and security. many people still believe in him to stay rather than to go with an armed rebellion into the next civil war, which was as well a threat by the opposition. it is a victory, but it's not kind of creating a stable situation right now here in the country because the opposition as well as the civil society will not recognize him as the

president and that stretches the country into the next crisis. anchor: how can peace come to the country? is there a likelihood that this result will be contested? reporter: it is likely. the regional effort will be strange. the ugandan president and seven neighbors tried to put old people -- all people back on the good negotiating table. negotiations had gone on last week, put on hold for the elections. we are now in a second round where people try to solve the crisis in the political way instead of going into irons or more wire -- violent situation. this country is on the edge of a civil war, maybe, and a lot of stakeholders want to avoid that desperately. anchor: simona reporting for us

he will take the nest very precautions for our nation for security and peace. last night was the start of this and we will keep going on the same way. reporter: turkey's president called the strike a first step and promised further action against islamist curtis, and leftist -- kurdish and leftist. these included members of islamic state and kurdish groups including the banned kurdistan workers party or . the raids took place hours after turkey changed its mind and decided to grant the u.s. permission to launch airstrikes against i.s. from a base near the syrian border. >> this is a decision turkey made for its own national defense. the opening of the airbase and the related negotiations are subject to different negotiations in process.

this is a decision turkey made for its own national defense. reporter: turkey's decision to allow u.s. airstrikes comes after an escalation of violence on monday. a suspected i.s. suicide bomber killed 32 people in a turkish town on the syrian border. further violence followed when a firefight between the turkish army ant i.s. killed five militants. anchor: pull in our correspondent, dorian jones. he is standing by in istanbul. this decision by turkey to allow the u.s. to launch these airstrikes, how do we explain turkey's reluctance to say yes? reporter: especially among nasa list -- nationalists -- the

president did try to allay some of their concerns by saying the use of the base will be within an agreed framework, what that framework is is unclear. and also the prime minister said there was a consensus to this decision indicating they had extracted concessions from washington. one particular concession is believed to be the guarantee from washington and they will try to rein in the syrian kurds who have made sweeping gains across syria against the islamic state on turkey's border. syria accuses the kudsrds of being linked to the pkk. anchor: would you say turkish police are using this escalation against i.s. is a chance to push against the pkk? reporter: that is a concern, especially among the pro-kurdish

party. i think adding to that concern is turkish security forces are refusing to give any figures on who they have arrested, how many islamic state and pkk and leftist people. this is adding to the concern that this could be the priority of the security forces could be more about the pkk than the islamic state. anchor: when you look at the events this week and the escalation of the violence and combat between turkey and i.s. is it fair to say that turkey has underestimated the power of i.s.? reporter: that is the feeling the revelations about the suicide bomber on monday reveals he is part of a sophisticated network and this is just one cell. the theory is that there are many cells across turkey, with many sympathizers and sleeper cells. the fear in turkey is when and
