Kenya airport shuts down as workers strike against India's Adani

Hundreds of workers at Kenya's main international airport demonstrated on Wednesday against a planned deal between the government and a foreign investor. Several passengers have been stranded at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) since Tuesday night when the Kenya Airport Workers Union (KAWU) began an indefinite strike at midnight to protest the government's plan to lease the airport to India's Adani Group. The government has said that the build-and-operate agreement with Adani Group would see the airport renovated, in exchange for the group running the airport for 30 years.
