Heavy security response after calls for anti-government protests in Kenya

Description

Police are out in force on the streets of the Kenyan capital Nairobi, after calls for more demonstrations against the embattled government of President William Ruto. As protestors gather in the central business district, police in riot gear fire tear gas, repelling some people with batons. Even as street protests have eased since dozens of people were killed and parliament stormed in late June, activists are still demanding the president's resignation, and calling for new rallies using the hashtag "RutoMustGo".
