Kenya Commemorates Two Years Since Deadly 2024 Anti-Government Protests Amid Ongoing Economic Crisis
Kenya marked the second anniversary of deadly protests that shook the nation in 2024, when demonstrators breached parliament walls in a dramatic show of dissent against severe economic hardship and widespread corruption. The June 25th demonstrations, initially led by youth groups, resulted in fatalities and have since become a focal point for continued resistance against the government of President William Ruto.
Annual marches were held to honor those killed during the protests, with participants expressing growing frustration over unfulfilled promises and deteriorating living conditions. The anniversary comes amid renewed public anger over economic policies and governance issues that continue to fuel nationwide discontent.
