Police in Mombasa dispersed and arrested demonstrators who were protesting against the DP World deal. The demonstrators were protesting the deal, which they say will lead to job losses and environmental damage.
The DP World deal is a 20-year concession agreement that gives DP World, a Dubai-based port operator, the right to operate the Mombasa Port. The deal has been controversial since it was first announced, with critics arguing that it will lead to job losses and environmental damage.
The demonstrators who were arrested on Monday were part of a larger protest that was organized by a coalition of trade unions, environmental groups, and civil society organizations. The protesters marched to the Mombasa Port and chanted slogans against the DP World deal.
The police responded by firing tear gas and water cannons at the protesters. The protesters then dispersed, but they vowed to continue their protests against the DP World deal.
