Families of Kenyans who are in Russia and those who have died while fighting in Russia staged a protest in Nairobi on Thursday, urging the government to intervene and help bring their loved ones home. The families gathered outside Parliament, where they presented a petition calling for urgent action from the government, including assistance in repatriating the bodies of those who died abroad. Holding photographs of their relatives, the protesters lit candles and waved the Kenyan flag as they appealed to authorities to intervene diplomatically. “We are asking our President to make just one call so that our sons can come back home,” the families chanted.
