Kenya Police Fire Tear Gas To Stop Scuffles Between Pro & Anti-Govt Groups In recent weeks, anti-government protests have surged across Kenya. However, on July 23, pro-government demonstrators took to the streets of Nairobi on motorbikes, rallying in support of President William Ruto's administration. They vowed to restore normalcy and condemned the ongoing protests.Clashes erupted between pro-government and anti-government protesters that morning, leading to police intervention with teargas. An anti-government protester accused the police of unfairly targeting peaceful demonstrators while allowing masked individuals on motorbikes to move freely.The protests, initially sparked by proposed tax hikes in June, have evolved into a broader movement against Ruto's government, with over 50 fatalities reported as tensions escalated. Protesters are demanding Ruto's resignation and systemic reforms to address corruption and governance issues.In response to the unrest, on July 29, President Ruto reinstated several cabinet members who had been dismissed the previous week.
