The death toll from anti-tax protests in Kenya has tragically risen to 50, with 413 people injured, according to the government-funded Kenya National Commission on Human Rights reported on Tuesday.
These youth-led nationwide protests ignited a month ago in opposition to proposed tax hikes. Despite President William Ruto withdrawing the legislation and dismissing nearly his entire cabinet, the demonstrations have persisted.
On Tuesday, renewed anti-government protests erupted across Kenya, resulting in clashes between police and demonstrators. The unrest intensified as protesters demanded President Ruto's resignation.
As the situation evolves, the voices of Kenyan youth continue to echo, seeking meaningful change in the country's governance and economic policies.
