Kenyan police fired on Nairobi protests against a new tax bill, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries.

Kenyan police opened fire during protests in Nairobi against a new tax bill, resulting in at least five deaths and dozens of injuries. Demonstrators opposed the bill, which aims to raise $2.7 billion in taxes to reduce Kenya's debt burden. The protests have led to disruptions and calls for restraint from the US and other countries. Auma Obama, half-sister of former US President Barack Obama, was tear-gassed during a live interview with CNN during the protests. The finance bill has sparked widespread protests against proposed tax increases amid a cost-of-living crisis in the country.
