Kenyan Opposition Politicians Tear-Gassed at Protests Against President William Ruto
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Kenya, police tear-gassed a convoy carrying opposition leader Raila
Odinga in the capital Nairobi on Monday as he led protests against
President William Ruto's government and high inflation. A university
student was reportedly shot dead at a demonstration in the city of
Kisumu. They were some of the largest anti-government protests in Kenya
since Odinga narrowly lost to Ruto last August.
