Thousands of people took part in protests against police brutality and government corruption in cities across Kenya on Wednesday. The protests, expressing disenchantment with President William Ruto, were marked by clashes with security forces that left at least eight dead and hundreds injured.

At least eight people were killed as protests against police brutality in Kenya spread across the country, according to rights and medical groups.

Television stations were forced off air and thousands flooded the streets in Kenya to demand President William Ruto's resignation a year after similar protests and the questionable death this month of a teacher.
