Monday, as anti-government protests, as they are swept in the regions of Kenya, the 12-year-old Bridgit Njoki is watching TV in the modest house.
There is no idea that the deadly clashes between these protesters and the armed police of Kenya are the way to the living room.
He pierced the roof of a single bullet, the ceiling and the NJOKI, his mother Lucy Ngugi, says BBC. During the hours, he was declared dead in the hospital.
“He was my everything,” said MS Ngugi, just while in the haystack in the house outside the capital Nairobi. “He was in my hand.”
“May the last mother to cry for the death of a child. An innocent child. I wish he had even played outside … but is inside the house?
Njoki is one of the youngest victims of violence that shook Kenya in the last month. According to the National National Human Rights Commission (KNCHR), about 70 people died, hundreds of great protests were injured in three major protests since June 17.
Protests – mainly reflect dissatisfaction in issues such as living, tax increase, fleecing public debt and police savagery.
On July 7, Njoki died, the government has blocked the main ways in preparing for demonstrations.
Video evidence shows that the police fired on tear gas and in some cases there are live tours in living areas in which the protesters are reconstructed.
“The bullet came over the roof of the house. This ceiling penetrated Njoki in a chair,” said Njoki’s grandmother, Margaret Njeri.
“Immediately, his mother arrested him and came to my house: ‘My mother was shot!’ I could not catch the child. “
Family, Ndumberi, about two kilometers (1.2 miles) in a village were far from the violent clashes in a village.
Njoki’s mother says: “I was convinced that this was a bullet,” he said. “The bang of the roof was so high. It was very high.”
Police rejected the allegations of the family, where he could not go home from the main road that insists on a bullet. However, NJokI’s lifeless body told a different story.
A report from the death of the 12-year-old after the death was a bullet from the body of doctors and injuring the head, “he said.
Njoki, a nearby village, was a 7th grade student at Benson Njau School in Ting’g. As the first son of the family, he was a mediator, auxiliary and pride.
“He was always number one in class,” he said. “So much obedient, so special, so neat.
“He spoke. He was just a very good girl. He loved to serve in the church. He helped her sisters. He cooked for me. He was everything.”
The mother of Njoki describes him as a “beautiful girl, a charming girl who dreams so much.”
His father is crushed and cannot speak. Siblings are also silent. Grief hangs like a shroud at home, and the chair of the NJOKI sits empty.
The death of dozens of people like Njoki attracted international.
The UN, this is deeply concerned about the killings and criticized the Kenyan police for using “deadly ammunition” against protesters.
All this feels like last year, more than 50 of KNCHR, prevented a police in protest against government.
President Ruto took a particularly harsh position this time.
According to the State Commission, July 7, which killed 38 people, said July 7, he said.
Ruto accused his political rivals that promoted violence in a proposal to illegally illegally, but the president’s opponents rejected this claim.
Meanwhile, return to NDUMBER, NJokI’s family just ends for savagery.
“I will bury Njoki, but I will never forget Saba Saba (July 7). NJOKI be the last victim of these protests,” he says.
An anti-government protest movement has reconstructed the Kenyan policy. He demanded the ears of transparency, empathy and listening. But this was paid in the blood.
While revsing continues, NJokI’s name and many people lost to many people lost – the symbol of innocence, state overflow and accountability.
“Let’s not burn our country. Let’s talk. Let’s talk. We are brothers and sisters, I beg our government,” said Njoki’s mother, “said Njoki.
“Don’t let another child die like NJoki.”
