Kenya in Flames: Ruto’s Withdrawal Fails to Quell Uprising | Violence Videos Continue To Come Out..
Kenya is facing a tumultuous period as protests intensify despite President William Ruto's recent backtrack on proposed tax hikes.
What began as online dissent against economic measures has erupted into nationwide demonstrations demanding not just policy reversals but a sweeping political overhaul.
Deadly protests in Kenya erupted over controversial tax increases, leading to 30 deaths and hundreds injured. Parliament's decision sparked violent clashes, condemned internationally for excessive force. President Ruto's administration withdrew the tax bill amid public outcry but faces economic strains. Calls for accountability and reform underscore the need to balance fiscal policies with human rights, aiming for a sustainable future.

Protesters returned to the streets of Nairobi on Thursday, expressing scepticism about Kenyan President William Ruto's recent decision to temporarily suspend an unpopular tax bill. Demonstrators clashed with police, who fired tear gas canisters to disperse the crowds in the city's commercial district, where most businesses remained closed. The resounding message from the protesters was clear: "Ruto must go, Ruto must go." The protests continued despite the police's efforts to intimidate the demonstrators. “The police are trying to scare us away,” said Karege, a protester. “But the president, it's time for him to go, to resign.” Another demonstrator voiced the sentiment that the protests were driven by a desire for peace, not violence. “We’ve been throwing teargas all along. We don’t have a problem with his excellency, the only thing we are seeking is peace.”

In Kenya, protests against a proposed tax hike led to violence, with police killing at least 10 demonstrators. Thousands stormed parliament, prompting military deployment. President Ruto initially called the actions treasonous but later withdrew the controversial finance bill due to widespread dissatisfaction. The US urged restraint and mourned the loss of life. The unrest, Kenya's biggest government challenge in decades, highlighted tensions between economic reforms and public welfare.
