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.

Thousands of Kenyans took to the streets on Wednesday to commemorate last year's demonstrations, in which more than 60 people died.

Security forces fortified Kenya's government buildings with razor wire ahead of a march marking one year since anti-Ruto protesters stormed the parliament.
