Kenya Prepares for Tense Anniversary of Deadly 2024 Protests

On June 25, Kenya marks the second anniversary of Gen Z-led protests that stormed Parliament over the 2024 Finance Bill, leading to over 120 deaths nationwide.

Police in Nairobi banned street demonstrations due to lack of formal notice, urging youth to stay away, as peace marchers in Kisumu carried signs like 'No More Street Protests' fearing business losses.

Gen Z organizers called for candle-lighting and a 'stay home' day to honor victims, amid President Ruto's warnings against violence and vows from matatu operators for normal service.
