ANGER STILL HIGH ONE YEAR AFTER GEN Z ROCKED KENYA

Reports are suggesting up to 16 people were killed in protests across Kenya on Wednesday - with some 400 injured. It’s a bitter irony, as people had come out to remember the 60 people killed in huge protests last year against IMF-backed tax hikes. 25 June was the one-year anniversary of the day protesters in Nairobi stormed the parliament - prompting the security forces to unleash lethal force.

At the latest protest in Nairobi, young Kenyans were also demanding justice for blogger and teacher Albert Ojwang, who was recently found dead in his police cell with signs of torture. Marchers demanded the arrest of killer cops, and called for profound changes to the way the country is governed - urging President William Ruto to resign.

African Stream was on the streets to hear Gen Z’s message.
