Kenyan Police Fire on Mourners at Raila Odinga Memorial

Tens of thousands of mourners gathered at a stadium in Nairobi, Kenya, to pay their respects to opposition leader Raila Odinga. At least two people were killed, Kenya’s head of police operations told The Associated Press.

Africa has lost a son. Your death can only be compared to one death in this planet. It can only be compared to that of Madiba, Nelson Madiba Mandela in South Africa. Baba, you are a true son of this — you are a true son of this soil, Baba. We are going to miss you.

Tens of thousands of mourners gathered at a stadium in Nairobi, Kenya, to pay their respects to opposition leader Raila Odinga. At least two people were killed, Kenya’s head of police operations told The Associated Press.
