In Kenya, significant police presence and barricades were established around Parliament and the Statehouse ahead of planned protests. Last year’s violent demonstrations, which resulted in police firing on crowds and deaths in the streets, have led to heightened tensions. The recent death of teacher Albert Ojwang while in police custody has reignited outrage over police brutality and corruption. Although the government declared Wednesday a normal working day, many businesses closed in anticipation of unrest, as young Kenyans organized protests through social media.
