What’s behind the protests in Africa this week?
There have been cost of living protests in Nigeria, protests in Kenya against the government’s tax plans and in Somalia over a deadly attack by al-Shabab militants
Not long ago, huge demonstrations took place in Kenya against President William Ruto’s plan to increase taxes- he eventually overturned his decision.

Across the continent, demonstrations have taken place in both Nigeria and Somalia too.
Africa Daily's Alan Kasujja has been looking why so many people have taken to the streets.
