At least 16 people died in the previous day’s protests across Kenya, Amnesty International said on Thursday, as businesses and residents were left to clean up the devastation in the capital and beyond.
Burned-out buildings, smashed windows, looted shops — thousands of businesses in downtown Nairobi, the epicentre of Wednesday’s anti-government protests, were destroyed.
The marches had been called to mark one year since the anti-tax demonstrations that left at least 60 people dead and peaked when a huge crowd stormed parliament.
