**Kenyan authorities have begun to move residents out of Africa’s largest slum - the Kibera settlement in Nairobi.**Officials expect to take from two to five years to clear the slum, which is home to about one million people.
The first people to move will be rehoused nearby in 300 newly built apartments, each paying about $10 (£6) a month in rent.
People in Kibera have had to cope with overcrowding, soaring crime rates and poor sanitation in recent years.
The Kenyan government is taking on the huge project with backing from the UN.
The BBC’s Anne Mawathe in Kibera said some families began moving with their belongings at 0630 local time.
They assembled to wait for trucks to take them to their new homes.
But some residents are unhappy about the clearance.
More than 80 people have taken their grievance to court, arguing that the land in Kibera is theirs and the government should not be allowed to demolish their homes.
The high court has ordered that the demolition cannot being until their case is heard next month.
