A man watches a campaign ad that was unleashed on the internet this week in Kenya just weeks before national elections, on July 13, 2017, in Nairobi.

Police officers control a crowd near the scene of the inspection of a vehicle suspected to be packed with explosives on April 24, 2014 in Nairobi's Somali district of Eastleigh a day after another car bomb was detonated killing two police officers at a nearby police station. Following a tip-off from the public, bomb experts set about inspecting the vehicle which they said bore signs of having been used to transport a large load, possibly an explosive device, before towing it away for further forensic inspection. At least four people, including two policemen, were killed on Wednesday when a car bomb exploded outside a police station in Nairobi near a major Somali neighbourhood.
