Kenyan Protests Escalate: One Dead Amid Calls for President Ruto's Resignation
TL;DR
Anti-government protests in Kenya have intensified, demanding President William Ruto's resignation despite his recent concessions. A protester was killed in clashes with security forces, and police used tear gas to disperse demonstrators in Nairobi. The protests, initially sparked by an unpopular tax bill, have evolved into broader grievances over governance, corruption, and police accountability. President Ruto has called for dialogue, but many protesters, coordinated online by young Kenyans, reject talks and insist he must step down.
