Man narrates near death experience during Kawangware violence

Property of unknown value was destroyed on October 27 evening in Kawangware slums, Nairobi. One person was shot dead as police moved in to extinguish a fight between two groups.

Groups of youths, armed with stones engaged the police in battles where police would dispense teargas to disperse them in vain. The gangs said to be protesting against Thursday's repeat presidential election, attacked and seriously injured residents. Later on, a group of youths arrived at the scene wielding machetes and engaged the police in more running.
