Kenyan Police Disperse Protesters In Nairobi With Teargas

In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing protest movement, Kenyan police unleashed tear gas on Thursday to disperse pockets of demonstrators who had converged on the heart of Nairobi, the country’s capital.

The protesters, undeterred by the authorities’ show of force, remained resolute in their demands for President William Ruto’s resignation.

As the demonstrators sought to build on earlier concessions and maintain momentum, the government’s response grew more severe.

The situation remains volatile, with the potential for further clashes and unrest.

As the standoff continues, the future of Kenya’s leadership hangs in the balance, and the world watches with bated breath.
