REUTERS/Monicah Mwangi/File PhotoNAIROBI, July 19 (Reuters) - Around 100 protesters hurled rocks at police in a poor neighbourhood of Nairobi on Wednesday as three days of demonstrations against the cost of living and tax hikes kicked off in Kenya. Protesters burned tires in the Kibera neighbourhood, often a flashpoint for stand-offs with security forces, and were met with volleys of tear gas by police. The Nation newspaper reported that police arrested suspected protesters in Homa Bay in the west of the country. Two rounds of protests earlier this month descended into violence when police fired tear gas, and in some cases live rounds, at the crowds.
