Kenya transport strike suspended

Kenya's nationwide public transport strike has been suspended for one week to allow for high-level negotiations with the government.

The decision follows two days of violent protests over rising fuel prices that left four people dead and dozens injured.

Interior Minister Kithure Kindiki announced the pause to calm unrest that had paralyzed central Nairobi and disrupted essential supplies.

Public transport operators are demanding significant tax cuts on diesel as the country grapples with the economic fallout of the Iran war.
