Africa-Press – Kenya. New Year in Kenya’s capital Nairobi was a spectacular affair.
As the clock struck twelve, a dazzling display of fireworks exploded over the city’s Old Mutual Tower.
Motorists jammed a major highway in the Kenyan capital to see the show and the crowd cheered on the pyrotechnics.
Street parties and fireworks also took place across the country.
The skies over the ancient pyramids of Giza were also alight with fireworks as Egypt ushered in the New Year.
The ceremony included a light show for which the pyramids provided a stunning backdrop.
As in many major cities around the world, the ceremony came with heavy security.
