It’s the 2nd day of a go-slow by air traffic controllers at Kenya’s busiest airport. Lots of stranded passengers as delays stretch for hours & some flights cancelled to/from JKIA. When I landed yesterday, the union was meeting with the government in Nairobi. What happened?

watched South African police escort protesters without executing them for 2 days. Even when marchers started looting or vandalizing property, they responded with non-lethal force. Can police in Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, and Tanzania learn from their counterparts here?
