Kenya: Police kill 4 on protest day one

Police on Wednesday shot dead four people and violently dispersed opposition leaders at the start of the three-day opposition mass protests which saw businesses paralysed in Nairobi and all the major towns and cities, including Kisumu, Mombasa and Eldoret. The opposition Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has vowed to pursue protests and engage in international mediation efforts while constantly raising the issue of the flawed presidential elections in parliament where it has a controlling majority.
