Kenya police use tear gas to disperse protesters in Nairobi
STORY: Police fired tear gas to clear pockets of anti-government demonstrators from the center of Kenya's capital Nairobi on Thursday (August 8).
Their protest movement is seeking to compel President William Ruto to resign.
Shops were shut and streets left deserted after riot police set up road blocks and threw tear gas canisters to disperse protesters across Nairobi's financial district.
The "Nane Nane" march, meaning "eight eight" in reference to the date, follows weeks of similar pro-reform protests that saw Ruto scrap planned tax hikes and overhaul his cabinet.
Mostly organized online, the youth-led nationwide protests have no official leaders.
They began peacefully in June before turning violent, killing more than 50 people.
Ruto bowed to pressure and shelved the new taxes in June after some demonstrators briefly stormed parliament.
He also fired his entire cabinet apart from the foreign minister last month.
The president's reconstituted cabinet, including opposition members, was sworn in on Thursday.
Ruto has promised to investigate alleged abuses by the police during demonstrations but has broadly defended their conduct.
