Schools are closed in Kenya due to cost of living protests

In a clash that occurred in Kenya's major cities on Wednesday amid three days of protests, demonstrators threw stones at the police, who in turn fired tear gas in return. protests over the country's rising taxes and cost of life in East Africa.

At the entrance to Nairobi's Kibera neighbourhood, where protesters torched tyres and clashed with security personnel, two hot water vehicles and numerous riot police were stationed.

Both the government and the opposition have yet to provide any specific information.

The third-largest city in the nation, Kisumu, the port city of Mombasa, and the capital city, Nairobi, all had closed schools.

When the police used tear gas to disperse the protesters earlier this month, at least 15 people died and hundreds were detained.
