At least two journalists have been reportedly injured during the latest round of anti-government protests in Nairobi and other parts of Kenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the capital, a cameraman was reportedly bloodied by a teargas canister which hit his face and tore his skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Kisumu, another cameraman was seriously injured by a group who reportedly pelted him with stones for filming them as they allegedly robbed a supermarket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A statement from the Kisumu Journalists Association says Eric Nabiswa missed a step when fleeing and broke his ribs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It had initially looked like a peaceful day, with armed security monitoring tense but quiet hotspots around Nairobi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier on, opposition leader Raila Odinga, his running mate in the last elections, Martha Karua, and other leaders of the Azimio coalition addressed ecstatic supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike Monday\u2019s chaos, both protesters and police appeared restrained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But later in the day police appeared to prevent Mr Odinga\u2019s convoy from accessing some parts of the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They also attempted to disperse gathered crowds with teargas canisters and fired pink water from cannons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some crowds responded by throwing rocks at a nearby police station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In some residences around Nairobi, civilians filmed apparent gangs patrolling streets and allegedly robbing anyone on sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around Kenya there were more incidences of blatant disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Siaya town, north-west of Kisumu, the offices of the ruling United Democratic Alliance Party were set ablaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Odinga has vowed to continue with bi-weekly protests to push for what he calls electoral justice and to apply pressure on the government to fix the high cost of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President William Ruto has said he will only engage Mr Odinga within the confines of the constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diplomats, including from the US, UK and African Union, have called for sobriety and a quick resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
