Recent protests in Kenya have turned deadly, with reports confirming at least 16 fatalities and hundreds injured as citizens express outrage over police brutality and poor governance. The situation has escalated in several cities, particularly Nairobi, where youth-led demonstrations have been marked by clashes with law enforcement, who have employed tear gas and water cannons in an attempt to disperse crowds. As the country marks the anniversary of significant protests last year, the unrest reflects deep-rooted frustrations among Kenyans, particularly the younger generation. Eyewitness accounts and medical reports indicate that many victims suffered gunshot wounds, highlighting the severity of the police response. As tensions continue to rise, activists and citizens call for justice and significant reforms in governance and policing practices.
