Actress Lupita Nyong'o has condemned the Kenyan authorities' crackdown on huge anti-tax protests that began in June. But Nyong'o, an Oscar winner who grew up in Kenya but now lives in the US, said the government's handling of the protests was "upsetting". Moi, in office from 1978 to 2002, ruled Kenya with an iron fist and ruthlessly suppressed his political opponents. Her uncle's body has never been found, but according to local reports, the family believes he was pushed off a boat. "I am deeply grateful for the younger people who are on the front lines fighting for a different Kenya," Lupita Nyong'o said of this generation's protesters.
