Kenya In Flames: After Huge Tax Win, Protesters In Kenya Plot Next Moves, Demand Ruto’s Resignation

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.” #KenyaProtests #TaxHikeProtests #NairobiUnrest #WilliamRuto #TreasonAccusations #PoliceViolence #HumanRights #MilitaryDeployment #CostOfLivingCrisis #FinanceBill #ProtestCasualties #GovernmentBuildingsBurn #SocialMediaCrackdown #IndianAdvisory #7DaysOfRage ~PR.274~HT.318~ED.103~GR.124~
