In Kenya, thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of Nairobi and other cities to mark the one-year anniversary of a youth-led uprising against high taxes, poor economic conditions, and the rule of President William Ruto.

Sarah Wanjiri: “For me today it means that revolution today is coming to Kenya. I pray that this is the day that will change everything — that [President William] Ruto will go today.”

In response to this week’s peaceful protests, Kenyan police blocked major roads leading to Nairobi’s central business district and draped government buildings with razor wire. The brutal crackdown on protests a year ago killed at least 60 people, with hundreds more injured.
