Youth-led mass protests are continuing across Kenya, even after President William Ruto withdrew an unpopular tax bill in response to the unrest. Protesters took to the streets of the coastal city of Mombasa Tuesday denouncing police violence against demonstrators. They were met by armed forces who fired tear gas and charged at demonstrators.

Derrick Antonio: “Gen Zs are suffering because of lack of jobs, lack of jobs. There is no job in Kenya. People are trying, are starving. They are working hard, but there’s nothing they can get.”

Since protests began in mid-June, the Kenya National Human Rights Commission estimates at least 39 people have been killed. Most casualties happened when police opened fire at crowds that gathered at the Parliament complex in Nairobi last week. Over 360 people have been injured in what the commission described as “excessive and disproportionate” police force.
