Thousands of grief-stricken mourners attend Raila Odinga's funeral

Thousands of mourners have attended the state funeral of former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga at a national stadium in the capital, Nairobi.

Many carried national flags, portraits of the late leader, and wore T-shirts printed with his image to pay their final respects. Foreign leaders and regional heads of state were in attendance.

During the public-viewing ceremony of the body, a large crowd surge led to multiple injuries and two deaths, according to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
