NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenyan children led a march by hundreds of people through the capital Nairobi on Saturday to call for rich nations to do more to fight global warming.
Led by a prison service band, demonstrators sang and danced to a central Nairobi park where they made speeches urging action by delegates from some 189 nations meeting at a United Nations climate change conference on the outskirts of the city.
"Africa must rise up because our continent will be the most impacted by global warming," said Grace Akumu, wearing a white "Our Climate, Our Survival" T-shirt.
"We don't want spineless African environment ministers, as we have seen in the past. Let them seize this moment to demand from the West a special fund to help us adapt to this threat."
One man carried a poster of President Bush reading: "Wanted -- For Crimes Against the Planet."
