Two Somali teenagers have been detained by the Milimani Children’s Court in Kenya pending a social inquiry report after being accused of desecrating the Kenyan flag during a football match at Nyayo Stadium.

• The minors, aged 14 and 17, will remain at the Gigiri Children’s Protection Unit until Wednesday for the report and plea taking.
• Prosecutors allege the teens are in Kenya illegally and committed charges of damaging a national symbol and causing a disturbance.
• The incident, captured in a viral video on September 20, led to a public uproar, an apology from Mogadishu City Club, and condemnation from Somalia’s Ambassador to Kenya, Jabril Ibrahim Abdulle.
