Kenya's developments after Gen Z protests
In 2024, Kenya faced widespread protests against increased taxes on gas and ammunition, resulting in the death of at least 60 people. The "Generation Z" movement succeeded in forcing the government to withdraw the financial bill and implement austerity measures. After two years, protests continued due to ongoing police violence and deteriorating economic conditions, with unemployment rising to 68%, along with demonstrations demanding justice and improvements in living conditions. In 2026, the parliament passed the budget law targeting the collection of an additional $770 million in taxes, amid ongoing political and economic challenges, while the youth movement continued to develop and its influence spread to other African countries.
