Human Rights Live Here: Stop Forced Evictions in Nairobi
In July 2009, more than 3,000 residents of Githogoro Village were made homeless when the government, with only 72 hours’ notice, evicted them and used bulldozers to demolish their homes. A program to clean up the Nairobi River Basin threatens to displace more than 127,000 people who live nearby. On World Habitat Day on October 5, ask President Kibaki to stop all forced evictions in Nairobi, consult with local communities about alternatives, and relocate and compensate those displaced.
