Children Reportedly Killed, 30 Medically Evacuated Due to Tear Gas, Kangemi, Nairobi, Kenya

At 0123 EST today, protests had kicked off in central Nairobi denouncing the unpopular tax hikes by recently elected President Ruto. The hike in gasoline prices, after the courts stayed the administration's tax increase proposals had led to tens of thousands of Kenyans taking to the streets throughout the country. However, perhaps the most tragic episode in the protests and police crackdowns has been the reported deaths of at least three school children and the medical evacuation of thirty others from the Kihumbuini Primary School in Nairobi.
