So most likely the Kenya Airways flight didn't follow procedure or
receive clearance?

There's far too little information available to speculate at this point.

It should be noted, however, that African airlines have miserable safety
records compared to airlines in Europe, the US, or Japan. The usual problems
are pilot error and lack of maintenance.
