Kenya’s security forces are restricted all major roads leading to Central Nairobi, beyond planned protests nationwide.
Most city center left, with businesses covered and a heavy street security presence. Some schools advise students to stay at home.
Hundreds of early morning commuters and night travelers who have been stranded with checkpoints, some situated over 10km (six miles) from the city center, with only a few vehicles allowed.
Inside the city, the roads leading to major government sites – including the president’s official residence, the state house, and Kenyan Parliament – changed by razor wire.
In a statement issued on Sunday night, police say this is their statement of constitution to protect lives and property while continuing to order the public.
The protests on Monday, called Saba Saba (Swahili for 7 July), to celebrate the 1990s years for reproducing democracy in Kenya.
These demonstrations are organized primarily to young people, which demand good management, more useful, and justice for victims of police violence. They are the most recent in a wave of anti-government protests beginning last year.
On 25 June, at least 19 people were killed and thousands of businesses were robbed and destroyed by a day in anti-tax protests last year.
New demonstrations have become violent, with reports of infiltration through “goons”, accused of robbing and attacking protesters. The civil society groups discuss the conjunction of groups and police – the accusations that police strongly declined.
Sunday, an armed gang attacked the head of a human right to NAIROBI. Kenya Human Rights Commission hosts a press conference organized by women who call to end state violence before protest on Monday.
This year marks the 35th anniversary of the original protest of Saba Saba – an important chance that has helped the Multiple democracy in Kenya after a party rule.
The government’s response under government under President Daniel Arap Moi is fierce. Many protesters – including veteran politicians Raila Oninga, currently working with government, arrested and tortured, while at least 20 people were reported to be killed.
Since then, Saba Saba came to symbolize Civic resistance and fight for democratic freedom in Kenya.
