Police used tear gas to disperse protesters in Nairobi, Kenya, on Monday, March 20, local media reported, as supporters of the country’s opposition leader took to the streets.

Footage recorded by Beldeen Waliaula shows crowds running from a cloud of tear gas on a street in Nairobi’s downtown.

Raila Odinga, the Kenyan opposition leader, had called on his supporters to take to the streets, after rejecting the election victory of President William Ruto in August last year.

The protests were deemed illegal by police on Sunday, but this did not prevent unrest in the capital. Credit: Beldeen Waliaula via Storyful
