In Pictures: Kenyans line up on streets to see President Barack Obama

Hundreds of Kenyans lined the streets of Nairobi with hopes of seeing U.S. President Barack Obama who is on a three-day visit to the country.

While Obama’s itinerary provides no opportunity for him to meet directly with the public, Kenyans – being a curios lot – lined up near the U.S. Embassy Bomb Blast Memorial Park hoping to see the world’s most powerful leader.

Here are some of the pictures that define Kenyans’ curiosity;
