Anti-tax protesters in Nairobi clashed with riot police on Tuesday, blocking roads and burning tires after recent tax legislation caused deadly unrest.

Riot police responded with tear gas. The controversial finance bill has sparked strong opposition, particularly among young people struggling with rising living costs.
