Businesses Looted, Set Ablaze in Nairobi’s Kawangware Area
Several businesses and homes in Nairobi’s Kawangware were looted and set ablaze on Friday evening.
Area residents say three people were killed in the violence and dozens of others injured.
All shops at the junction of routes 46 and 56, including butcheries, hotels and salons were razed down, according to the Nation.
Waiyaki Way Supermarket was also set on fire by the rioters but Nairobi County firefighters managed to save it from destruction. "Had it not been for the fire engines, we would be talking of massive losses. The fire was huge but they have been able to manage it before spreading," a witness told the Nation.
The Friday evening violence is said to have been started when groups of youths supporting rival political parties confronted each other. The situation soon got out of hand and some of the youth started looting and burning buildings.

Pole if that's what you feel. Ni siasa.
Raila got away with the 2008 masacres . now he is continuing the trend . Using the jobless and loosers for his sake. Pls stop it stop it Raila . stop acting like a demi dieu it is not worthy it because you will only loose . No sensible person will consider you can change accept your fate and thank God you are still breathing and healthy it is a blessing and you can serve Kenya in other ways . Presidency for you is over but you have to blame yrself
Mwangi. You're a POOR Ideologist; very poor.
Ano you are lucky to be living in the most democratic countly in the world where a lebel leader moves around with government security, calling the same government all sorts of names.
Njai. If you're talking about Raila, FYI: He has the BEST Security Detail (in the World) of His Own. But as the OFFICIAL Opposition Leader in the Country, he is Entitled to GOVERNMENT Security because: It's TAXPAYER's Money; the Taxpayer whose Democracy he is FIGHT for.
Just think this through: Raila is just hypocrite. He has best security in the world while he is using poor and uneducated bunch to further his agenda. They are the ones getting Killed while he is enjoying his posh crip in Karen. If he means to what he says, his family should on front line protesting.
The work of imported goons who incite Luhyas and Kisii to riot together with the luos. The very work of one area MP Simba Arati. Unfortunately, the kikuyus are vowing to retaliate.
Why Kawangware? is this to diversify nrm axis-just the same way nasa principals take turns and pass propaganda batons. In one of the clips a goon can be heard proudly saying he has no house in Nairobi?really? Is that peaceful resistance?
This is the work of a terrorist leader Rails Ondinga. He is getting terrorism training from Alshabab
Anonymous, pole sana, that was deep, lakini sivo ndugu! Chapati kwani hukaliwa? Jamani, will never have another chapo ila kwangu mimi....
The other side of the coin for these rioters: kunguni wamejaa, wanigoja mimi, SHIDA!
May the God Almighty help us all.
The work of the wanted terrorist Raila & may you perish with all those that you send to do this. We as christians we are down on our knees to pray for our Nation Kenya. God will judge you for this.
