LIVE | Kenya's Unfinished Uprising: How Gen Z Still Haunts Ruto Government

A solemn anniversary turned violent in Kenya as thousands of young demonstrators took to the streets to mark two years since the historic, youth-led Gen Z protests. Despite government assurances of public safety, Nairobi’s Central Business District was transformed into a heavily fortified no-go zone. Riot police deployed tear gas, water cannons, and miles of razor wire to block activists and opposition leaders from marching to the Parliament building. Over 350 people were arrested nationwide, with Interior Minister Kipchumba Murkomen branding them as criminals while rights groups alleged peaceful citizens were unlawfully swept up. The unrest highlights the enduring anger over the deadly June 25, 2024, crackdown, which left over 60 dead. As victims’ families reject a non-transparent $15 million compensation fund and demand police accountability, President William Ruto faces an escalating political crisis just ahead of next year's high-stakes general election. --- Kenya Protests | Kenya Gen Z Protests | Nairobi Protests | Kenya Unrest | William Ruto | Kipchumba Murkomen | Kenya Parliament | Nairobi CBD | Firstpost Africa | Firstpost #kenya #nairobi #genz #kenyaprotests #williamruto #kipchumbamurkomen #africa #firstpostafrica #firstpost Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
