In a tragic turn of events, protests in Kenya commemorating the anniversary of anti-government demonstrations have escalated into violence, resulting in a death toll that has reportedly reached 16, with hundreds injured. Human rights groups emphasize the rising anger over police brutality and corruption, as protests led primarily by the youth continue to unfold across the nation. As citizens clean up looted shops and burned buildings, calls for justice and accountability from the government intensify. Eyewitness accounts indicate that police responded with force, including water cannons, as tensions escalated. The protests serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle for governance reform in Kenya, particularly among the Gen Z population, who are increasingly vocal in demanding change.
