Kenya: Rights Abuse Allegations Against Ruto Overshadow Dutch Royal Visit | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Dutch King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima are in Kenya for a three-day state visit, receiving a grand welcome from President William Ruto. However, their trip has sparked controversy amid allegations of human rights abuses by Ruto’s administration. Critics accuse the government of suppressing protests, detaining opponents, and involvement in disappearances. Over 22,000 people signed a petition urging the royals to cancel their visit, arguing it legitimises a regime accused of silencing dissent. The Dutch government defended the trip, citing strong economic ties, while the King emphasised human rights concerns. As the visit concludes today, questions remain: will it drive real change or strengthen Ruto’s government? Watch this report for more.
