One person was shot dead, and more than 10 others are nursing gunshot wounds while property of unknown value was destroyed as the Nyanza region continued to bear the brunt of Azimio protests on Thursday, July 19, 2023.

For another week in a row, smoke from destruction billowed across the horizon of most towns amid bursts of gunfire, the cracking sounds of tear gas canisters, and screams.
