Tribal clashes in Eastleigh, a densely populated area in Nairobi, have escalated, leading to an increasingly deadly situation.
These tensions are fueled by deep-seated ethnic divisions, which have been a recurring issue in Kenya.
Eastleigh, known for its mix of communities, including Somalis and Kenyans from various tribes, has become a hotspot for conflict.
The fights often stem from political, social, and economic grievances, where one group perceives the other as having more control over local resources and opportunities.
Despite the severity of these incidents, both the government and mainstream media have remained largely silent, further aggravating the situation.
The lack of immediate and transparent responses has led to frustrations within affected communities, who feel neglected by authorities.
