In Kenya, at least one person was killed in a fresh wave of youth-led anti-government protests demanding President William Ruto resign. At least 50 people have been killed since protests broke out last month in response to a now-withdrawn tax bill. This is a protester in Mombasa.
Protester: “We’re still protesting, because Ruto could have easily dissolved this from the first week. He could have signed off his people from the first week. He could have stepped down from the first week. But he’s waited this long. All these people have died, all this life lost. And still he cannot see the bigger impact he’s creating on the country.”
In other news from Kenya, hundreds more national police officers were deployed to Haiti this week as part of a U.N.-backed security mission.
