Protest in Nairobi
News summary

Pro and anti-government protesters clashed in Nairobi, Kenya, on July 23, leading to violent confrontations and police dispersing crowds with tear gas. The demonstrations, which have entered their fifth week, were sparked by opposition to a controversial finance bill, with protesters calling for President William Ruto's resignation despite his efforts to address grievances by reinstating cabinet members. The unrest has resulted in at least 50 deaths and over 400 injuries, according to the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights. Tensions escalated as pro-government supporters took to the streets, resulting in the burning of a motorcycle and road blockades that prompted police intervention. Additionally, a court suspended a police ban on protests, affirming the constitutional right to peaceful assembly. Meanwhile, misinformation circulated on social media falsely attributing reports of police using toxic gas against protesters to the BBC.
