Six people were killed in Kenya in clashes between police and protestors. Six people were killed on Wednesday in clashes between police and demonstrators who joined a banned opposition protest against tax hikes, police officers told AFP. "We have always said that these meetings remain peaceful until police decide to break them up with bullets and tear gas," Odinga said on Wednesday. The ban follows protests last Friday, when police fired tear gas in Nairobi, targeting Odinga's convoy, AFP journalists reported. On Saturday campaigners said police used tear gas on civil society representatives demanding the release of dozens of people arrested during the protests.
