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

Sarah Wanjiri: “For me, today means that revolution is coming to Kenya. And I pray that this is a day that will change everything, that 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.
