Nairobi —
"The Kenya Defence Forces is deployed on June 25, 2024, in support of the National Police Service in response to the security emergency caused by ongoing violent protests in various parts of the country, resulting in the destruction and breaching of critical infrastructure," Duale stated. "I have seen four bodies of the protesters who were shot dead," reported a witness."They are lying in a pool of blood outside Parliament."
Thousands of protesters engaged in running battles with the police throughout the day, with security officers firing rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse the crowds. The protests were not limited to Nairobi; similar unrest was reported in about 30 of the country's 47 counties. Television news channels broadcast split-screen live images from around the country, showing crowds in different cities. Lawyers and human rights groups expressed concern about arbitrary arrests and the intimidation of activists during earlier protests.
