Wednesday marks the one-year anniversary of the parliament in Nairobi being stormed by protesters, which saw 60 people killed and many disappearing
Hello and welcome to our coverage of the events unfolding in Nairobi, Kenya, today.
Thousands of protesters have taken to Kenya’s streets to mark a year since people stormed parliament at the peak of anti-government demonstrations, despite fears that they would be met by state-backed gangs and police violence.
Kenyans have planned to march across the country today to honour those who were killed during last year’s protests. The demonstrations last year saw at least 60 people being killed and many more disappearing.
Early on Wednesday, police blocked major roads leading into the capitals central business district, while government buildings were barricaded with razor wire.
