One Killed In Kenya Rallies As Protesters Breach Parliament

Kenya has one of the most dynamic economies in East Africa but a third of its 52 million people live in poverty.

Kenyan police shot dead one protester near parliament Tuesday, a rights group said, with AFP journalists seeing three people lying motionless on the ground as crowds opposed to proposed tax hikes breached barricades to enter the parliamentary complex where a fire erupted.The mainly Gen-Z-led rallies, which began last week, have caught the government off guard, with President William Ruto saying over the weekend he was ready to talk to the protesters.

“Police have shot four protesters, as witnessed by KHRC, killing one,” the Kenya Human Rights Commission said in a statement on X. Police in full riot gear were firing tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowd, according to AFP journalists. Several organisations, including Amnesty International Kenya, said at least 200 people were wounded in last week’s protests in Nairobi.
