Kenyan demonstrators held an annual march on June 25 to commemorate the second anniversary of protests that turned deadly in 2024. The march retraced steps taken two years earlier when youth protesters stormed parliament buildings in Nairobi.
Background of the 2024 demonstrations On June 25, 2024, protesters entered parliament during demonstrations against economic hardship and corruption. Several people were killed during those clashes.
Annual commemoration Since the 2024 events, organizers have held a march each year on the same date to remember those killed. The commemoration occurs as frustration with President William Ruto grows.
