In Kenya, thousands of people marched across the country on Wednesday, in memory of those killed, injured or missing during the June 25, 2024 demonstration, these people were denouncing the rising cost of living.

According to reports, at least 16 people were killed during demonstrations in Kenya.

The marches degenerated and the police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds.

According to Amnesty Kenya, most of the victims were killed by police fire.

To the cry of Ruto must go, thousands of young people in Nairobi, but also in several other Kenyan cities, denounced the use of the police to create a climate of fear.
