Slum Evictions Move Ahead in Nairobi
Contested land ownership remains an open question for residents of Nairobi's Kiberia slum.
Slum dwellers in Nairobi, Kenya, have lost a bid to stop the government from evicting them.
The Kenyan High Court recently threw out a lawsuit filed by residents of the Kibera slum in the nation's capital. The plaintiffs were hoping to stop a series of road construction and development projects by arguing that they infringe on their constitutional land ownership rights.
