OPPOSITION LEADERS, FAMILIES OF ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTEST VICTIMS LAY WREATHS ON BARBED WIRE

Families of victims killed during Kenya's 2024 anti-government protests laid flowers on barbed wire barricades outside Parliament on Thursday after heavily armed police blocked access to the compound during commemorations marking the second anniversary of the demonstrations. Opposition leaders Kalonzo Musyoka and Martha Karua joined thousands of Kenyans in Nairobi for the tribute, which honored those killed during the June 25, 2024 youth-led protests that culminated in demonstrators breaching Parliament, setting parts of the complex on fire and clashing with security forces. Human rights groups say more than 60 people were killed during the unrest, with hundreds injured and others reported missing. The protestors ultimately forced President William Ruto to withdraw that year’s Finance Bill in a rare political reversa #trending #youtubeshorts #kamchutv #politics #protest #genz
