According to a joint explanation of several human rights groups in Kenya, more than a thousand people were arrested and accused. Currently, these are the last numbers after all attacks have been collected and checked throughout the country.
A joint explanation specifically criticizes that the figures of death in these cities and regions were the highest, where suddenly military weapons were in civilian units to continue against the protesters. According to the explanation, their faces were disguised, and license plates circled their vehicles to “mask their personality”.
In many places, the army was recently sent to Kenya and sharply fired. In many cases, rescue workers were blocked to restore injuries and take them to the hospital.
The UN Human Rights Commissioner “Angry”
On Monday, the Kenyan young protest movement “Generation Z” is called to national protests and strikes. It was a historical celebration day called Sabasab, which always reminded of protests in 1990 against the authoritarian regime Daniel Arap. The nationwide people took to the streets to demonstrate for the best government, their democratic rights and freedoms.
The UN Human Rights Commissioner Walker Terk was “concerned” that these recent incidents occurred just two weeks after June 25. Even then, on the anniversary of the first mass protests of “generation Z” against the new budget law with a painful increase in taxes, more than 15 demonstrators were killed and much more were injured.
In his statement, the Turk resumed his call to rest and restraint, as well as unlimited respect for the freedom of expression, association and meetings in Kenya: “It is very important that the legal complaints on which these protests are based are understood.”
Analysts in Kenya are currently calling for the government to dialogue with the “Z Generation” to solve their problems and targeted reforms in the police apparatus and the economy. “We hope that the government is listening and that the president really causes the fears of young people,” explains Steve Ogutu.
In his election campaign in 2022, President Kenya William Ruto aimed at the youth hope for a great job and better life and, thus, won the elections. But these hopes were disappointed, Oguta said. Kenyan youth is becoming more and more displeased,
Ruto, in turn, reacts to protests with substantial threats. “Anyone who attacks police officer or attacked the police station to explain the war,” the president entered the microphone on the occasion of the opening of new barracks for police officers in the Nirobi Kilimani area. “This is unacceptable,” he continued. “Enough enough! We will use all the methods necessary to stabilize the country. ”
