Back in the early 80's I was on a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to Johannesburg, with a stop in Nairobi where I was getting off. As we landed armored vehicles sped up alongside the plane and escorted it to the gate. As we deplaned we walked a gauntlet of Kenyan soldiers armed with whatever they used at the time (G3's?)....they were at the low ready and they weren't smiling. Apparently all South African flights were under threat of terrorist attack at that time and the Kenyans were determined to keep anything from happening on their territory.
