Kenya starts clearing debris after protests in which at least 6 died
NAIROBI, Kenya - Kenyans woke up to the acrid smell of tear gas still lingering in the capital on Wednesday, a day after protesters stormed parliament and burned part of the building over a controversial tax plan.
Kenya has been rocked by massive protests for over a week in opposition to a proposed finance bill that would raise taxes as frustrations over the cost of living are simmering. Many young people who helped vote Ruto into power with cheers for his promises of economic relief have taken to the streets to object to the pain of reforms.
Herman Manyora, a professor at the University of Nairobi, said that the youth-driven protests could escalate further if the president does not adopt a more conciliatory approach. U.N. Secretary General António Guterres said he was deeply saddened by reports of deaths and injuries.
