Why Lately It has Been Hard To Board A Bus InNairobi If You Look LikeA Somali

Monday, it’s pretty hard to board a bus in Nairobi if you look Somali.
Twitter users report seeing Somalis kicked off buses, or buses emptying when Somalis get on.


(For my fellow Americans, alights means "gets
out.")

Somalis are been refused entry to public
vehicles and their businesses
boycotted.Government of Kenya to
blame,they labeled them terrorists.
