Kenya protests:two individuals have been shot dead by police

Kenya protests: it has been reported that at least two individuals have been shot dead by police during the ongoing protests in Kenya on July 7th, as central Nairobi is cordoned off.


At least two individuals have succumbed to gunshot injuries after police opened fire amid the anti-government demonstrations in Kenya.
These protests commemorate the 35th anniversary of the significant Saba Saba protests, which initiated Kenya's movement towards multiparty democracy on July 7, 1990.
The events today (07/07/2025) were primarily organized by the youth of Kenya, who are calling for increased accountability, improved governance, and justice for victims of police violence.
From the early hours, security forces have obstructed all major routes leading to central Nairobi in anticipation of the protests. Businesses have been closed, and a heavy presence of security personnel has been observed on the streets.
The nation continues to witness a surge of anti-government protests since last year, advocating for better governance.
