Residents of Umoja 2 Estate in Nairobi staged protests on Thursday morning, lighting bonfires and disrupting traffic, to demonstrate against alleged land grabbing by a foreign developer.

• The protests involved mostly traders accusing a foreign developer of attempting to seize their community market land.
• The contested land is currently under the custody of the Nairobi County government, and locals claim it has been used as a market for years.
• Protesters called on Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja and Senator Edwin Sifuna to intervene, stating they risk losing more than 300 stores, shops, and stalls.
