| Jomo Kenyatta and Ethiopia's Haile Selassie |
There are only three avenues in Kenya’s capital: Kenyatta, Moi and Haile Selassie Avenues in honour of our first and second Presidents…and Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I.
The reason Nairobi has an avenue named – not after a local freedom fighter – but a foreigner is not accidental.
