Plans for a demonstration organized by ODM Scandinavia outside the Kenyan Embassy at Birgerjarlsgatan 37 are complete. A police permit has already been obtained for the demo which will begin at 14.00 hrs. Kenyans, friends and sympathizers attending the demo are requested to carry placards reflecting the situation in our country.
Since the crisis in Kenya began, more than 6oo innocent Kenyans have lost their lives as a result of attacks across the country and police shooting civilians with live ammunition. Other sources have placed the death toll to more than 1000. More than quarter million Kenyans have been displaced, creating a huge humanitarian catastrophe.
During this time of trauma in Kenya, members of the Kenyan community are expected to put aside their political differences and show solidarity with Kenyans back home who are undergoing through a very difficult period following election rigging by the Party of National Unity.
Kenyans need to come together to remember those who have lost their lives with the hope that the crisis will soon be sorted out so that our people can stop dying for no reason. After the demo, a statement will be handed over to the Kenyan Ambassador to scandinavia H.E Mrs Purity Muhindi to be forwarded to Mr. Mwai Kibaki.
