Kenyan Opposition Leader Odinga Calls For Weekly ProtestsVeteran opposition leader Raila Odinga is calling for weekly protests, as clashes erupted between police and supporters demonstrating over the country's cost-of-living crisis. Odinga had called 20 March's demonstrations against the government of President William Ruto in protest at soaring prices of basic goods in Kenya and what he said was last year's "stolen" election.

Riot police had earlier fired tear gas and water cannon on Odinga's motorcade near a Nairobi hotel, where he had been due to hold a press conference before being forced to leave. Running battles erupted between stone-throwing demonstrators and police in several parts of the capital and at least one other Kenyan city, in the first major unrest since Ruto became president in 2021 Kenyans are struggling as prices for basic necessities soar.
