07/07/2025 marks the SABA SABA PROTEST in KENYA ✊🏿🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 "Saba Saba" is "Seven Seven" in english

The 2025 Saba Saba protests in Kenya, led predominantly by Gen Z activists, are set to take place on July 7 amid heightened political tension and public outrage. Sparked by growing dissatisfaction with the government, economic hardship, police brutality, and the recent death of teacher-blogger Albert Ojwang in custody, the protests build on the legacy of the original 1990 Saba Saba movement for democracy. Demonstrators are calling for President Ruto's resignation, justice reforms, and constitutional accountability. In anticipation, over 20 schools in Nairobi have closed, church leaders have urged peaceful protests, and the government has issued strong warnings against violence. A recent attack on the Kenya Human Rights Commission's office has intensified fears of state interference. This year’s Saba Saba marks a critical moment, symbolizing Kenya’s ongoing struggle for justice and amplifying youth voices demanding real change.
