Water cannon and whips: Police in Nairobi clash with protesters • FRANCE 24 English

Police blocked roads in a show of force to deter anti-government marchers from the deserted streets of Kenya's usually bustling capital on Monday, with small groups of protesters clashing with officers on Nairobi's outskirts. Many people appeared to be staying home rather than attend the annual so-called Saba Saba Day ("Seven Seven"), marches to commemorate July 7, 1990 when Kenyans rose up to demand a return to multi-party democracy after years of autocratic rule by then-president Daniel arap Moi.
