Ongoing Protests Erupt Across Kenya Over Governance and Police Brutality

Tensions have escalated in Kenya as young protesters, particularly from the Gen Z demographic, take to the streets of Nairobi and other cities to demand the resignation of President William Ruto amid growing anger over police brutality and governance issues. The protests have been marked by violent clashes between demonstrators and police, resulting in deaths and numerous injuries. The situation intensified as two protesters were reported killed due to gunshot wounds, while many others have sustained injuries during the confrontations. As the anniversary of previous protests approaches, barricades have been erected around key government buildings, and reports suggest that the government has banned live coverage of the protests. In the face of warnings from authorities, Kenyans have shown resilience and commitment to their cause, with demonstrations expected to escalate further.
