“Huge crowds of mourners in Kenya fled screaming after police fired gunshots and tear gas in a stadium where they had gathered to see the body of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. There are unconfirmed reports that four people were killed in the chaos as security officers sought to disperse the surging crowds. It is not yet clear whether the police used live ammunition or rubber bullets in the arena, which is located in the capital Nairobi. Odinga’s body was flown back from India, where he died on Wednesday morning, with thousands of people waiting at the airport. The public viewing finally began in the evening, after the chaos in the stadium had subsided.” (10/16/25)
