CNN’s Larry Madowo was hit by the fragment of a tear gas canister while reporting on the protests in Nairobi, Kenya. Madowo was on the scene where young protesters had returned to the capital’s streets for an eighth week of demonstrations as President William Ruto swore in a new cabinet. The demonstrations started nearly two months ago, with mostly Gen Z Kenyans organizing on social media against a now withdrawn Finance Bill. They persisted as more citizens joined a largely leaderless movement against corruption, the high cost of living, and police brutality. CNN has reached out to Kenyan authorities for comment on the incident. #CNN #News

That's insane!🤬 They don't want the truth getting out. When governments do what is right and do their jobs with a unified community mindset, they will never have to worry about things like this.

That man is either very brave or crazy. I guess he could be both. Badass reporter of the week.

This Madowo is an inciter. CNN has finally got the "best" partisan reporter.
