[PHOTOS] Scenes in Mombasa as protests continue

Mombasa residents on Wednesday came out in large numbers to commemorate the victims of the 2024 protests.

Armed with flags and placards, they peacefully traversed through Moi Avenue, Digo Road, Jomo Kenyatta Avenue, Ronald Ngala Road, and Abdel Nasser Road, eventually returning to the town centre.

There was a heavy police presence to watch and keep law and order during the protests.

They carried placards, demanding justice for those who lost their lives during last year’s protests.

However, after hours of peaceful protests, police lobbed teargas canisters to disperse the protesters.
