Kenya is once again in turmoil as protesters in Nairobi and other areas demand the resignation of President William Ruto, leading to clashes with police. The unrest follows weeks of demonstrations against the IMF-backed 2024 Finance Bill, which resulted in multiple deaths and injuries.
Although President Ruto announced the withdrawal of the controversial legislation, concerns linger about its potential repercussions. As protests escalate, with some turning violent, the government has arrested over 200 suspects accused of inciting chaos.
Amid accusations of interference by criminal elements, the government aims to quell future unrest by cracking down on those using legitimate protests for nefarious purposes. Politicians like Mohammed Ali have spoken out against the violence, emphasizing the need to preserve decades of development in the country.
As tensions remain high in Kenya, it is essential for all parties to seek peaceful resolutions to avoid further bloodshed and turmoil.
