Today, The Atlantic Cities is launching The Postcard. Each day, we’ll feature a striking image from cities around the world, along with the latest news and happenings from media outlets doing great work there on ground.

Today’s Postcard: Nairobi 

• Local bars try to lure drinkers back after a spate of bombings by Somali militants
• The city’s once bustling Somali neighborhood is quiet because residents fear xenophobic attacks
• Families in Kiberia, Nairobi’s largest slum, will be moved to make way for a new commuter rail line
• The city’s first international human rights film festival explores the ways sports teams bridge ethnic divides
