At least eight people were killed and 400 were injured in nationwide protests in Kenya against the government of President William Ruto, doctors said.
Police collided with participants of the participants of the rally who moved in their thousands – some chanting “Ruto should go” and waving branches as a symbol of peaceful opposition to its rule.
The government has banned live television and radio production, but its decree was abolished by the Supreme Court in the Nairobi capital.
Ruto called on the participants of the rally did not threaten peace and stability, as the crowds tried to reach its official residence, but the police were pushing off.
“Protests should not destroy the world in Kenya. We have no other country to go if everything goes wrong. We are obliged to keep our country safe,” he said.
The president performed at the funeral ceremony in the coastal count.
Its absence in the state house, its official residence, was characteristic because the young participants of the rally threatened him to storm.
Police used barricades and razor wires to seal large roads – especially those leading to home and parliament.
The protests passed exactly a year after the demonstrators stormed the parliament, establishing part of the building.
Last year, at least 60 people were killed in an anti -government protest wave.
The authorities have not yet given any losses from the protests on Wednesday, but the Kenyan Medical Association, the Kenya Law Society and the working group of police reforms said in a joint statement that at least eight participants of the rally were killed.
Of the 400 victims, 83 require “specialized treatment”, and eight were injured. The victims included three policemen, added in the statement.
Amin Mud said BBC that she had joined the protests “to fight for the future of my children.”
“I feel like a country, we do not go in the right direction, especially in education and everything that happens.
“I feel like the country and the leadership are listening to us.”
The video shows the splashes of white tear gas that drift between the buildings in the rod, sending the participants of the rally, who sought to cover, cough and protect the eyes.
In the heart of the city, participants of the rally passed a mine, closed shops and empty streets.
The fence around the parliament was lined with wreaths and handwritten notes from mourning families and causes unwavering youth – a reminder of last year’s excitement.
A young woman, led into the Kenyan flag, squeezed a poster with the names of those who died a year ago by security forces when they tried to stop the protests.
