University of Nairobi students staged protests along Waiyaki Way on Wednesday afternoon. They demanded an immediate end to the ongoing lecturers' strike.
The demonstrations disrupted traffic along the busy highway. Motorists had to find alternative routes as vehicles struggled to pass.
Road Blockade
Students lit bonfires and burnt tyres on sections of the road. They also placed stones across the highway to block vehicles.
Images show some protesters holding placards, twigs, and whistles. They chanted slogans to pressure the government to resolve the dispute.
Why They Protested
Students say the prolonged strike has badly affected their studies. They took to the streets to demand a quick resolution.
The strike has disrupted learning at the university. Many students now worry about delays in their academic programmes.
