Jan. 16 - Kenyan police battle with protestors in troublespots across the country.

At least two people were killed as the opposition defied a ban on rallies against President Mwai Kibaki's disputed re-election. In the capital Nairobi and the western town of Kisumu, police used teargas and fired live rounds in the air as they chased demonstrators.
