"Kenya's Cost-of-Living Protests Claim More Lives as Death Toll Rises"

Violent protests continue in Kenya as demonstrators clash with police over tax increases and rising living costs. Teargas and live ammunition have been used against protesters, resulting in the deaths of at least six people and over 300 arrests. Opposition leader Raila Odinga has called for millions of his followers to join the protests. The arrest of prominent opposition figures, including MP Babu Owino, could further fuel demonstrations. The government has yet to issue an official statement on the protests or confirm the number of casualties. Amnesty International Kenya has accused the police of killing 30 people since the protests began in March.
