The streets of Nairobi resembling a war zone
Tear gas shells fired
protesters throwing stones at police
water cannons used
It initially began as a protest against the government’s planned tax hikes to shore up the economy…

The government eventually backed off…

Protesters accuse the govt of using brute force.

At least 25 people have died in clashes with police over the past fortnight

Now the demand is that President William Ruto must quit as he has blood on his hands

To cut costs after abandoning the tax measures meant to raise $2.68 billion, Ruto has announced the scrapping of the offices of the first lady and second lady from the new budget year.

He’s now appealing for peace
Protests are gradually spreading to cities other than the capital. ((Breathe))

And the youth are losing patience with the government over economic hardships and lack of jobs

With the government on the back foot, the opposition senses a political opportunity to score brownie points
The tax withdrawal puts Kenya's $3.6 billion loan programme with the International Monetary Fund at risk.

Ruto says he shares the grief of the people but says criminals may have hijacked what began as peaceful protests.

He also justified the use of force, saying the police have a job to do
