Students March After Bomb Kills a Leader

Hundreds of university students marched through the streets of Nairobi, the capital, in a second day of protests over the suspected murder of a student leader. Nairobi University, Kenya’s biggest, with an estimated 19,000 students, was ordered closed indefinitely by authorities. Witnesses said riot police ringed off the main university campus to forestall a repeat of riots that started late Sunday, when students stoned cars on the city’s main highway. Groups of students staged mostly peaceful protests Monday, singing solemn songs in memory of Solomon Muruli, who was torn apart by an explosion in his campus bedroom early Sunday. Muruli had said he received death threats last week.
