Kenya: Protests continue despite police crackdown

BBC World Service - Focus on Africa

Kenya's opposition vows to continue with anti-government protests

Kenya's opposition vows to continue with anti-government protests despite a heavy crackdown by police.

Kenya's opposition has vowed to continue with anti-government protests despite the police warning they will intensify crackdowns on what they consider as illegal protests. Hundreds of people storm former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s farm on the outskirts of Nairobi, while a factory linked to opposition leader Raila Odinga has also been vandalised. 

The US Vice President Kamala Harris arrives in Ghana, on the first leg of an African trip widely regarded as a diplomatic charm offensive.  

And we hear from Nigerian Afrobeats producer turned singer, Killertunes, on his upcoming album KillaXtra 11.
