Not long ago, huge demonstrations took place in Kenya against President William Ruto’s plan to increase taxes- he eventually overturned his decision.

But despite this, protests in Kenya continue- yesterday police used teargas to disperse pockets of protestors from Nairobi Central Business district.

Across the continent, demonstrations have taken place in both Nigeria and Somalia too.

Africa Daily's Alan Kasujja has been looking why so many people have taken to the streets.
