singular proper noun: Solidarity; noun: Solidarity<\/span><\/i><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unity or agreement of feeling or action, especially among individuals with a common interest; mutual support within a group.<\/span><\/i><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The solidarity. The sheer solidarity that Kenyans showed each other is what held us, and continues to hold us into the future of this fight. People showed up and gave their all to this fight, some, including with their lives. The common Nairobian mwananchi played their beautiful part in all this. For a city that\u2019s known for its individualism, fast paced environment and get rich or die trying culture, my goodness, tuliungana.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We held each other&#8217;s hands while we ran, making sure no one was left behind and shouting, \u201cMsikimbie haraka, tuchungane!\u201d to ensure that no one got trampled while scrambling for safety from teargas, water cannons, live bullets and rubber ones. Doctors were on the streets with solutions that would make the burn from the teargas and water cannons better. Nairobi business owners put buckets of clean water outside their business premises and offered a safe spot from the police.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The courage was infectious too. Getting into CBD during <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">maandamano<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> days was an anxious affair. You\u2019d alight the matatu or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nduthi<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and be welcomed by the lingering sting of teargas, or shots ringing out. But you\u2019d see people just as scared as you in the middle of the road chanting, waving their flags in front of police armed with deadly weapons. They\u2019d be rebranding street names to those of our fallen heroes, climbing onto high places to dance, cheer and laugh. They would see the police coming and not move a muscle. And that, that gave you the courage to wave your flag too, to sing the anthem too, to cheer whenever teargas and shots rang out, to show our unity and fearlessness.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hawkers would motivate us, telling us how important this fight is and we have their support. Parents would wake up early in the morning to pray for us before we hit the streets. Matatu operators and motorbike riders would defy police orders and ferry people home, hooting in support as they passed.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the police and masked armed men (we couldn\u2019t tell who was who) came out to shoot, beat, abduct and burn us to death, we stood with the dead. There were vigils for shujaaz like Beasley Kogi, a 22-year-old whose last tweet read, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDaima mimi mkenya, mwananchi mzalendooooooooooo\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2026 on the day he was killed fighting for his country.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our youth respectfully wrapped the bodies with Kenyan flags, moved them away from the road, held flags over their bodies and stood there, fists up in the air, even as police tried to scare them away. They stood there, the corpse of one of their own at their feet, terrified but firm in ensuring that no one is alone, even in death. We showed up for their families, wrapped in the eternity of grief.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watu wa Nai walisimama pamoja<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tuko tayari kulinda nchi yetu, kuijenga, tumeungana mikono pamoja kazini<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026 and this work will set this country free.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the meantime, here\u2019s:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><b>What I\u2019m Reading: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m picking up Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi today.
