Kenya: drama at the World Social Forum

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Kenya, Development, Economics & Business, Human Rights, Protest

Mental Acrobatics writes about drama at the World Social Forum [1], “The poster says, “Reduce food prices in the WSF.” A demonstration organised by a youth group from Korogocho started a loud vocal protest outside the Windsor catering tent. Korogocho is the third largest slum area in Nairobi after Kibera and Mathare. The demonstarters called for a reduction in food prices and informed everyone buying from Windsor to remember what they had gathered in Nairobi for. To battle inequality. How can you have a conference where most of the participants if they could get in, would not be able to afford the food and call that same conference social?”
