Kenya is observing the two-year anniversary of violent protests sparked by the 2024 Finance Bill. The initial demonstrations resulted in a harsh police response, leading to over 60 deaths and hundreds of injuries. Civil society organizations are planning renewed protests, raising concerns about potential government overreach and further violence. This anniversary arrives amid a broader trend of escalating violence within Kenya in recent years. Authorities have not publicly addressed specific plans for managing potential unrest. The situation remains tense as demonstrators prepare to mobilize, and observers fear a repeat of the 2024 crackdown.
