Kenya: Protest Anniversary Turns Violent; 2 Dead From Gunshots | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Thousands of Kenyans have taken to the streets to mark the one-year anniversary of the deadly anti-tax protests that shook the nation in 2024. Demonstrators, mostly youth, waved flags and chanted slogans like “Ruto must go,” as tensions ran high across major cities. The protests come amid heavy police deployment, with tear gas fired to disperse crowds. Many are also mourning the recent death of a young blogger in custody, further fueling public anger. Rights groups and Western embassies have raised concerns over abductions and the use of hired goons. Kenya remains on edge as calls for justice and reform grow louder.
