The world has witnessed some truly chaotic and unforgettable funerals…
In June 1989, the funeral of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini shook Iran — millions flooded the streets, the coffin was briefly lost, and it fell multiple times as a sea of grief-stricken mourners surged forward.
It was less a procession and more a human wave.
When Yasser Arafat died, mourners stormed the helicopter carrying his body.
The requiem mass had to be moved from Gaza to Egypt to prevent a deadly stampede.
In Kerman, during Qasem Soleimani’s burial, tragedy struck — a stampede killed 56 people and injured hundreds as people pushed to get close for one last glimpse.
And now, Raila Odinga’s death has plunged Kenya into scenes of overwhelming emotion and historic crowds.
The Kenya Airways Carrier sort clearance from IATA to rename the plane KQ 203 carrying BABA from India back home to RAO001 upon hitting the Kenya Airspace
The body was initially set to lie in Parliament, but the massive, uncontrollable crowds forced authorities to divert the procession to Kasarani Stadium to avoid a stampede.
Streets overflowed, chants filled the air, and a nation paused — a final farewell to a man whose influence defined eras.
Meanwhile Kisumu City is beckoning and yearning to receive the son of the soil.
