  • Kenya commemorates two years since the violent protests against the 2024 Finance Bill, which resulted in over 60 deaths and numerous injuries due to police action. As civil society groups prepare for demonstrations, there is growing concern about the government's potential response.
  • The trend of escalating violence in Kenya raises alarms for many citizens and activists alike.
  • The protests two years ago were sparked by widespread discontent over the Finance Bill, which many viewed as detrimental to the public. The violent crackdown by police has since led to a climate of fear and distrust towards the government, complicating efforts for peaceful civic engagement.
  • The anniversary of the protests serves as a stark reminder of the volatile political climate in Kenya. The government's heavy-handed approach to dissent not only reflects a troubling pattern of repression but also exacerbates public unrest.
