Kenya police crack down as anti-government protesters clash with pro-government group in capital | AP News

Protesters clashed in Kenya’s capital on Tuesday, as pro-government supporters took to the streets of Nairobi on motorcycles on Tuesday morning ahead of a planned demonstration by anti-government rivals. Kenya’s anti-government protests entered their fifth week, having started as calls for legislators to vote against a finance bill that proposed new taxes. Police last week banned protests in Nairobi citing the lack of clear leadership to coordinate with police to ensure safety and security. (AP video shot by Idi Ali Juma and Josephat Kasire )
