Gen-Z Protests Continue in Nairobi Amidst Criticism of Political Figures

Nairobi, Kenya – Thousands of Gen-Z youth took to the streets of Nairobi today in a continuation of the 'Maadamano' protests, expressing their discontent with various issues, including alleged police brutality. The demonstrations, marked by large crowds and a strong youth presence, saw protesters carrying signs and engaging in peaceful, albeit vocal, displays of dissent. Amidst the ongoing protests, a prominent figure, Esther Pasaris, has drawn criticism for her remarks concerning the youth's involvement and their interactions with law enforcement. Online commentators, including a local media personality, have questioned Pasaris's stance, particularly her alleged accusations against the Gen-Z demographic regarding the incidents involving police. The commentator highlighted the perceived disconnect between Pasaris's statements and the youth's experiences of alleged mistreatment by police officers during the demonstrations. The protests underscore growing tensions and calls for accountability and reform within the country.
