Abductions in Kenya

In Kenya, anti-government demonstrations entered their seventh week. What began as protests against tax hikes has now grown into a call for the country’s president to resign. Even as William Ruto attempted to compromise, reports surfaced of protesters being killed or abducted, which generated even more demonstrations. It’s all stirring up dark memories of Kenya’s authoritarian past. The World’s Africa correspondent Halima Gikandi reports from Nairobi.
