Kenya police fire on advancing crowd of protesters in Nairobi | BBC News



Two people have reportedly died of gunshot wounds after police opened fire during protests in Kenya, the latest in a wave of anti-government rallies that began last year.

Dr Aron Sikuku, a medic at Eagle Nursing Home in Kangemi on the outskirts of Nairobi, told the BBC that two bodies had been taken to the facility and had died from gunshot wounds. He said hundreds of protesters had gathered outside his hospital demanding to take away the bodies.

As of now, there has been no official confirmation of the deaths.

The demonstrations mark the 35th anniversary of the historic Saba Saba (7 July 1990) protests that launched Kenya’s push for multiparty democracy.

  1. Please,Kenyans urge the International Community to help have the International Criminal Court(ICC) prosecute the president and his rogue allies who have declared war on innocent citizens murdering us in cold blood!Almost every week the police and state hired goods are killing more than 20 people!On Monday alone,they killed more than 31.!We are tired please help us hold to account this evil,cruel,corrupt and oppressive regime,the country is bleeding with women raped,children and youth killed mercilessly for no reason!We ask the foreign western governments to stop entertaining and recognising this evil regime for it's brutality against it's innocent citizens for demanding good governance,accountability and respect to the rule of law(the Constitution)!Help us get a regime change and put an end to these killings that have been ordered by the government through the president and his minister for interior!!!Where is ICC please????!!!

  2. Dictator Museveni is grooming president Ruto to be another dictator in East Africa. They rule by corrupting the media with propaganda and blackmail. Dictator Museveni and his one family dictatorial regime confused our parents and destroyed Uganda to a failed state but the God of this oppressed Ugandans Generation is awake and working on Museveni and his dictatorial family goons/sympathisers will go soon, enough is enough. Amen

  3. Foreigners must repatriate, foreign military bases closed, foreign AID organizations, NGOs & charities expelled, and all land returned to indigenous. RUTO OUT OF OFFICE, World Bank & IMF banned.

  4. The government has zero I Teresa in listening or talking to “young people”.
    The government knows exactly what people want and they are so busy looting the country that they will not Snd cannot give peopke what they want.
    And I think they have showed the world that.

  5. Africa, what happened to us? What is wrong with us? Kenyans , who are you going tobring to power after you force Ruto go? Stop it! Bad government is better than no government. Don't haste to be like Libiya and Somalia .😢😢😢Kenya has got oil!This wealth must bring a curse to it and this is the first one. There has been ,there is and there will always be , a hidden hand that curbs Africans not to use from its own wealth. Kenyans need to identity who is the hidden hand and come together to share their wealth together . Otherwise , the hidden hand will eat it when Kenyans are busy eating each other. Africans , be careful about this hidden hand.

  6. We watching and listening from America 🇺🇸! We know the TRUTH! IBRAHIM TRAORE OF 🇧🇫 BURKINA FASO ALONG WITH MALI AND NIGER IS putting the African Presidents and the AFRICAN UNION TO SHAME! Let’s just call a ♠️ spade a ♠️ spade 🤷🏾‍♂️💯 I solve the case on the first few seconds of this video!😉🫨

  7. Why does Ruto hate himself so much? That's been a big question on my mind because only a man that hates himself would do this to his home, his country, his people. A man that despises himself, a man with no self worth, a man that has given up on himself and has sold his soul to the devil. God of mercy, remember the prayers of your people in Kenya and in the world. Protect our children, our mothers & fathers, for there is an evil force surrounding our beloved Kenya but by the grace of God it will not prevail.
