Nairobi, May 9 (EFE/EPA).- Kenyan security agencies continued on Thursday to demolish houses near the riverbanks of Nairobi, which were affected during continuous floods that have wreaked havoc in the country.

Kenyan President William Ruto ordered the agencies to evacuate everyone living close to 178 mapped out dams that are said to be full, riverbanks, and areas prone to mudslides following continued heavy rainfall which has so far killed more than 200 people since March. (Camera: DANIEL IRUNGU).
