On a day like this last year, Kisumu was on fire. Gun fire reverberated in the lakeside city as police officers quelled anti government protests. Shops were closed and roads blocked with boulders.

When the guns fell silent, at least 20 people were said to have been killed and 100 others were nursing various injuries including gunshot wounds.
