I have never been to Kenya and probably never will. But a former coworker of mine has been living there for years.

Her husband works for a well-known corporation which manufactures and sells energy infrastructure. From their perspective, they are engaged in global free trade.

But I don't see how anyone in Africa can regard the operations of any non-indigenous business as being anything other than neocolonialism, especially because the vast majority of the wealth being generated in Africa benefits non-Africans.

I don't know if that is what motivates these terrorists, but I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't.

Should "freedom to travel anywhere" guarantee "freedom to plunder"? That really is the question, and therein lies the solution or the lack thereof.
