Kenya protests live: President vows to restore order after deadly tax hike demonstrations - BBC

A group of ambassadors and high commissioners for countries including Britain, Canada, Denmark, Germany, the US and the Netherlands have issued a statement expressing "concern" at the violence ensuing at the protests.

"We are especially shocked by the scenes witnessed outside the Kenyan Parliament," the British High Commission posted on Facebook.

"We regret the tragic loss of life and injuries sustained including the use of live fire," they said. The group says it is also "deeply concerned" by "allegations of abductions of protesters", and is calling for "restraint on all sides".

"All actors have the responsibility to respect, uphold, promote and uphold the rule of law, particularly by ensuring a proportionate security response".

Other signatories include the embassy of Finland, Estonia, Norway, Sweden, Romania and Belgium.
