Kenyan citizens staged a peaceful demonstration in the capital, Nairobi, today to protest against accumulated wealth stashed in Kenya by corrupt South Sudanese political and military elites, at the expense of their people.

In a letter addressed to Kenya’s National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) Inspector General, National Police Service, the organizers called on all Kenyans and well-wishers to come out and demonstrate as a gesture of solidarity for the citizens of South Sudan.
