No country for the poor young men in our slumsA section of Kibera slums in Nairobi. He lives in Ubunga slums Kisumu with his single mother. All these young men are my younger brothers’ age. The cases of Silas, Titus and David are illustrative of how young men in slums from Mombasa, Kisumu and Nairobi are losing their lives because they are labelled as suspected thugs and terrorists. The deaths of these young men, and the near dismissal of their death as the cost of ensuring security by those who are not affected directly by this crisis, is one of the main reasons the death of hundreds of young poor men continues in the low-income areas of this country.
