Kenya Police Continue Battle With Opposition Groups


KENYAN riot police fired teargas at hundreds of protesters blocking a road near Nairobis Mathare slum as a second day of demonstrations against President Mwai Kibakis disputed election began yesterday.

Gunshots were also heard during the morning from a slum area of the western opposition stronghold town of Kisumu, scene of the worst violence on Wednesday in which at least three people were killed.

"My father was shot as he stood in front of our house. The police were shooting indiscriminately, targeting anyone on sight. My father was shot in the stomach," witness Alphonse Otieno said from Kisumus Kondele slum.

Outside Kondele, police fired in the air to disperse a crowd of youths gathering to protest, sending people scattering into alleys.

"We are doing civilian disobedience without looting," protester Joseph Orlale, 24, said. "We will continue demonstrating until the Government gives up."

The Orange Democratic Movement hopes three days of protests will put pressure on Mr Kibaki, which accuses him of stealing the December 27 election.
