At least 23 people were killed in violent clashes in Kenya this week after thousands of protesters stormed parliament over planned tax hikes.
A funeral procession weaves through the heart of one of Nairobi's poorest neighbourhoods. As it passes, more and more young men join in. 'There is no god but Allah,' they chant around the casket carrying 19-year-old Ibrahim Wanjiku. He was shot twice in the neck while protesting. We saw him lying lifeless on a bed in his family home less than 24 hours ago. Today, we see him held up high and commemorated by his community.
Eugene is also 19 and said that as he saw his friend's body lowered into a grave, he knew that it could have been him. I ask if he will go out and protest again. He looks down with defeat and shakes his head. 'No, no, I think not. my brother now like that - I will not.' 'The young have lost their innocence' But across Kenya, there are young men willing to march in his place while he recovers from the loss.
