The death toll from recent anti-government protests in Kenya has reached 31, marking the highest single-day figure since the protests began. Over the last two weeks, more than 50 people have reportedly been killed. In addition, 107 individuals were injured and over 500 arrested during the unrest, which has been fueled by anger over police brutality, government corruption, and rising living costs. Calls for President William Ruto's resignation have emerged, and significant property damage has occurred, including looting. Authorities are urged to address root causes and ensure civil rights.
The death toll from Kenya's anti-government protests on Monday has surged to 31, marking the highest single-day toll since demonstrations began earlier this year.
Driven by anger over police brutality, alleged government corruption and a rising cost of living, many demonstrators have called for the resignation of Kenyan President William Ruto.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk urged Kenyan authorities to address the root causes of the protest, emphasizing the need for calm and restraint.
Kenyan Interior Minister Kipchumba Murkomen last week urged police to "shoot on sight" anyone approaching police stations during protests.
