Kenya: Protesters Clash With Armed Motorcyclists Allegedly Backed By Police | Firstpost Africa | N18G

In Kenya, fresh clashes broke out as protesters gathered in Nairobi, calling for an end to police brutality. But the peaceful protests turned violent as Kenyan police fired tear gas to disperse the protesting crowds while armed motorcyclists, known as goons in Kenya, charged at the demonstrators and beat them up. The protesters alleged that the armed motorcyclists were hired by the authorities and the police were protecting them. The recent clashes followed the shooting of an unarmed bystander by a police officer at point-blank range. The video of the incident went viral and triggered public outrage. The bystander was shot at amid protests, triggered by the death of teacher and blogger Albert Ojwang. The 31-year-old died in police custody. His death sparked massive protests amid concerns over alleged extrajudicial killings by security forces in the country.
