Kenya: Huge crowds as body of revered politician Raila Odinga heads home • FRANCE 24 English

Vast crowds gathered in western Kenya on Saturday to see the body of a beloved politician, Raila Odinga, for the biggest day of mourning ceremonies that have already claimed at least five lives this week. There were cries of "Baba" (father) and "We are orphans" among the tens of thousands who packed the streets in Kisumu, the heartland of Odinga's support, as his coffin arrived at the city stadium by helicopter. Odinga, 80, died from a suspected heart attack in India on Wednesday, triggering a huge outpouring of grief across the country, but particularly in western Kenya where his Luo tribe are dominant.
