Anger over Kenya demolitions to build highway
Thousands of residents of a large informal settlement in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, have vowed to fight the demolition of their homes to make way for a highway.
Nearly 20,000 families in Kibera have until Monday 16 July to leave their shacks, which the government believes have been built illegally.
The government says it owns the land in question and no-one will be compensated.
Schools and businesses are amongst those served with eviction notices.
Ben Ooko, the founder of community organisation Amani Kibera, says he is disappointed that he was given only two weeks to move.
He told the BBC’s Ferdinand Omondi that the government was being insensitive.
Some of the buildings to be demolished include Amani Kibera’s fashion school for young women and a library where school children study.
Sarah Bisebe, who runs Egesa Children Centre – a school for the less fortunate children - told the BBC her eviction notice was slipped under the door at night.
She is concerned if evicted the children at her centre may no longer get an education.
The authorities say the $20m (£15m) dual carriageway being built through the heart of Kibera is intended to ease traffic in the west of the city.
