Obama addresses human rights, ethnic divisions on final day of Kenya visit
NAIROBI, Kenya — President Obama spoke out Sunday about corruption, ethnic divisions, terrorism and human rights in a rousing televised speech on his last day in Kenya, his father's homeland.

“I should be seeing President Obama live today,” said Collins Njehia, 28, a Nairobi resident camping outside
