Unrest at Nairobi's Jamhuri High School, January 24, 2018. [Photo| Courtesy]Local artist Jua Cali has expressed disappointment after students at Nairobi's Jamhuri High School went on unrest, forcing the management to close it indefinitely on Wednesday morning.10 students were reportedly stabbed in fighting between those of Christian and Muslim religion.Students claimed that the school principal Fred Awuor favoured a faction of those allied to a particular religion. Below is a statement from Jua Cali about the same."I am appalled by the reported incidents of religious intolerance at Jamuhuri. As an alumni of the school I strongly condemn acts agression of students directed to their fellow students on account of religious differences. As a people, our diversity should make us admirable to each other. Religious intolerance should have no space in Jamuhuri High School or any other place for that matter. I am proud to have passed through the hands of Jamuhuri and as such I would like normalcy to resume so the young people can keep moulding their future.We should see each other only as human beings and not for each others caste, religion, tribe etc. One God. Jamhu eeeeeeeeh!!! Jahmu aaaaaaaaaah!!!"
