The ambassadors and high commissions of Australia, America, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Canada, Norway, Switzerland, the United States, and the United Kingdom have issued a joint statement on the intermediate mass demonstrations happening across Kenya.
It reads as follows,
“We are saddened by the loss of life and concerned by high levels of violence, including the use of live rounds and destruction of property, during the recent demonstrations.
We recognize the daily hardship faced by many Kenyans and urge all parties to table their concerns through meaningful dialogue and resolve their differences peacefully to build the nation together, ensuring no further loss of life.
We stand ready to support the parties in their efforts to find peaceful and constructive solutions.”
Last week, some of the embassies issued alerts and travel advisories to their citizens to follow steps to ensure their safety during the mass protests.
