Thousands of protesters marched across Kenya on Wednesday to mark a year since huge demonstrations against a contentious tax plan turned deadly and laid bare the growing anger at President William Ruto’s government. The police fired tear gas at protesters who were waving Kenyan flags and blowing whistles in central Nairobi, where banks and businesses were shuttered amid a heavy security presence.

The demonstrators had gathered to protest police violence. They flooded the streets of Nairobi, Kenya, angry over the death of a man in police custody. As two officers approached a man at the protest, he turned to move away. Moments later, one of the officers shot him in the head. The man, identified by authorities as Boniface Mwangi Kariuki, survived the shooting on Tuesday. But the moment, captured in a series of photographs, has inflamed public fury in Kenya over a pattern of police aggression.

The conflict between Iran and Israel has escalated yet again. On June 13 morning, explosions rocked Tehran as Israel carried out a major attack intended to cripple the country’s nuclear programme, Israeli officials said. The strikes raised fears the long-simmering conflict between the two countries could escalate into a war involving the most powerful militaries in the Middle East. Iran’s rulers have pledged to destroy Israel and have long supported regional militias who share that goal.

O conflito entre Irã e Israel ameaça escalar mais uma vez com os ataques desta sexta-feira, 13 (horário local; noite de quinta-feira no Brasil). Israel lançou um novo ataque ao Irã, supostamente mirando instalações nucleares do país, mesmo enquanto oficiais americanos e iranianos se engajam em diálogos sobre o programa nuclear do Irã. Os governantes do Irã prometeram destruir Israel e há muito apoiam milícias regionais que compartilham esse objetivo.
