Youth-Led Protests in Kenya Demand Ouster of President over Corruption, Debt
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Kenya, youth-led nationwide protests have entered a sixth week as
police continue to violently crack down on demonstrators. Armed forces
on Tuesday fired tear gas and rubber bullets at anti-government
protesters in Nairobi. Dozens have been killed by police since last
month, but protesters are not standing down, vowing a "total shutdown"
of Kenya as they seized control of Nairobi's main international airport.
