Kenya’s Human Rights Commission Speaks On Deaths Of Protesters During Violent Clashes Over Tax Laws

Kenyan protesters vowed on Wednesday to keep up their demonstrations against new tax hikes, a day after police opened fire on crowds trying to storm parliament, killing at least five people and wounding dozens. As heavily armed officers patrolled the streets of the capital Nairobi, supporters of the week-old protest movement took to X, using the hashtag #tutanethursday, or “see you on Thursday“ in a mix of Swahili and English. Many social media users focused on President William Ruto’s speech after the clashes, in which he said the attack on parliament was the work of “criminals pretending to be peaceful protesters“. #kenya #kenyapaliament #africa #livenews #worldnews n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
