Thousands of people have been made homeless in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, after a government excavator flattened their tin-sheet houses in the Kariobangi area.
The demolition was supervised by armed police officers from Monday dawn.
Residents told journalists that they had not been notified to leave.
The Daily Nation newspaper has shared a video on Twitter of the demolitions:
