July 7, 1990: Saba Saba. City rioters burnt buses and stoned motorists as they fought running battles with anti-riot policemen in Nairobi streets and estates and scores of people sustained injuries. The riots were sparked off at Kamukunji Grounds, venue of what had been touted to be a meeting of multi-party advocates. The running battles continued until late into the evening in the sprawling Eastland suburbs as GSU personnel who had camped at the grounds sprang into action charging into the crowd swinging their batons and firing tear gas.
