A Kenyan protester smoking teargas from a canister thrown at him by the Anti-Riot police officers in the ongoing protests #RejectFinanceBill2o24 #REJECTFINANCEBILL2024

Kenya's President William Ruto has officially withdrawn the controversial Finance Bill following massive protests. The $2.3 billion tax plan has been scrapped. 22 people have died in the peaceful protests.

After a mass uprising across Kenya culminated in protesters storming the Parliament building and police killing 23 people, Kenyan President Ruto will no longer be signing the unpopular finance bill. Protesters defeated a measure that was set to worsen the cost of living crisis.

Despite the President of Kenya dropping the finance bill, the young Kenyans hits the streets at the early hours of today marching to the State House in demand that Mr. William Ruto resign with immediate effect #RutoMustGoNow

We didn’t see them appeal with government to reject finance bill. Don’t forget it

I keep looking at this horror and remember Aaron Bushnell’s last words: "This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal”

“We must make them love the country. Love for country is fine, but patriotism is not the point. Through patriotism, our enemies become their enemies. And when we BECOME THE COUNTRY. we will not have to fight our enemies; the patriots will destroy them for us” - Joseph Goebbels
