Footage shows protesting airport staff clashing with police, chanting “Adani must go.” The Kenyan government has yet to make a final decision, positioning the deal as a public-private partnership aimed at upgrading the airport.
However, the strike extended to other regional airports, further exacerbating delays, and cancellations.
