Businesses and other properties were also destroyed in the protests that attracted thousands of frustrated young Kenyans.

Anti-government protests in Kenya’s capital of Nairobi turned deadly on Wednesday. While Kenyan officials have not disclosed the number of casualties, reports from local media and human rights groups say at least 16 people have been killed and over 400 injured during nationwide protests.

Thousands of Kenyans took to the streets on June 25 to mark the anniversary of deadly demonstrations a year ago.
