Police threw tear gas at protesters calling for the president’s resignation in the Kenyan capital on Thursday as a new Cabinet was sworn in.

The protests in Nairobi were organised by activists upset with President William Ruto even after he dismissed almost all of his ministers and added opposition members to what he called a “broad-based” government.
