An event in Nairobi to mark Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed Farmaajo’s first year in office ended prematurely when a group of protestors stormed the venue shouting Pro ONLF chants .
Several people were injured in the melee that ensued.
Kenya police had to be called in to restore order sending all present out of the venue at the Bin Ali Hotel on Eighth Street in Eastleigh neighbourhood.
15 people including organisers of the event were arrested.
Photos accessed by Radio Dalsan shows the hall disorganised and Farmaajo banners pulled down.
The protestors were demonstrating against last years rendition of ONLF leader Abdikarin Sheikh Muse “Qalbi Dagah” who the government has been blamed for handing him over to Ethiopia.
