The locusts, rather than grasshoppers, have now arrived in Kenya and causing havoc. Flights are not the only risk here, in a region that has been experiencing recurrent droughts and famine, these locusts are going to have a negative impact on food security. The East African countries seem to be also short of pesticide supplies and the requisite airplanes for spraying the same.
On a positive but albeit repugnant note, some people are finding these locusts very tasty. I haven't tried though.
