Summary:Violence broke out in Nairobi, Kenya, on July 8 1969, as President Jomo Kenyatta arrived at the city's Roman Catholic cathedral to attend a memorial service for the assassinated cabinet minister Tom Mboya. Mboya, heir-apparent to Kenyatta, was a member of the Luo tribe and thousands of fellow-tribesmen clashed with police as they attempted to enter the cathedral to see Mboya's body.
