Kenya’s police have resorted to firing tear gas in an attempt to prevent clashes between protesters and government supporters in Nairobi. The ongoing youth-led demonstrations, now in their sixth week, are fueled by allegations of corruption and misgovernance within the government.
The protests have escalated tensions in the capital as demonstrators continue to demand accountability and transparency from the authorities. Chants of “enough is enough” and calls for the resignation of government officials have echoed through the streets, as anger and frustration grow among the population.
Despite the use of tear gas and attempts to disperse the crowds, the protests show no signs of abating. The voices of the protestors are loud and clear, demanding justice and reform in a country plagued by allegations of corruption and political turmoil.
As the demonstrations continue, it remains to be seen how the government will respond to the growing unrest. With tensions running high and a sense of discontent sweeping the nation, the future of Kenya’s political landscape hangs in the balance.
