 Kenya hikes fuel prices by 6% following lingering Middle East tensions Kenya raised the maximum retail prices of petrol and diesel on Wednesday, the energy regulator said, citing higher import costs linked to the conflict in the Middle East. The east African nation hiked petrol prices by 6% and diesel prices by 4.5% as it relies on the Middle East region for nearly all of its fuel supplies. A litre of diesel will cost 227.76 Kenyan shillings ($1.76) in the capital city of Nairobi, from 217.86 shillings, while kerosene will rise to 219.87 shillings from 191.38 shillings between October 15 and November 14, when new prices will be announced, TRT Afrika reported. The energy regulator said the government extended a reduction in value-added tax on fuel to 8% from 16% until January 14. Fuel prices affect multiple sectors including transport, agriculture and construction.

Masked men, some carrying Confederate flags, marched through Washington, D.C. on the Fourth of July, chanting “reclaim America, reclaim America” as they moved through areas near Union Station, according to video from the scene.

Footage shows the group moving in formation while repeatedly calling for the removal of immigrants. Some participants were seen carrying flags featuring symbols associated with Patriot Front, a group described by the Anti-Defamation League as a white supremacist organization.

Additional video posted on social media appears to show the group marching near a Washington Metro station and traveling on the transit system while wearing masks and coordinated gear.

A separate image taken by a photographer shows individuals in face coverings and matching attire consistent with Patriot Front branding riding the Metro.
