Kenya’s president ‘had no option but to climb down’ following violent crackdown on mass protests

Kenyan protesters vowed on Thursday to keep up their demonstrations against President William Ruto’s government despite his pledge to withdraw proposed tax hikes that prompted a week of deadly unrest. He backed down on fiscal measures that the government had said were needed to fix the nation’s creaking finances. Many activists say they now want more, including a complete overhaul of the government and Ruto’s resignation. For in-depth analysis on the anti-finance bill protests, the ensuing crackdown and the deadly fallout, FRANCE 24’s François Picard is joined by Otsieno Namwaya, Author and Human Rights Watch East Africa Director.
