Kenyan President William Ruto vowed to take a tough line against "violence and anarchy" on June 25, after protests against his government's proposed tax hikes turned deadly and demonstrators ransacked parliament. Mainly youth-led demonstrations had been largely peaceful as they grew over the past week but chaos erupted in Nairobi on June 25, with crowds throwing stones at police, pushing past barricades and entering the grounds of parliament.

Kenyan protesters will take to the streets on Thursday in memory of "our fallen people", a prominent organiser of the youth-led demonstrations said, after anti-tax hike rallies turned violent, killing 13, according to doctors.
"You cannot kill all of us. Tomorrow we march peacefully again as we wear white, for all our fallen people," Hanifa Adan posted on X on Wednesday, adding: "You will not be forgotten!!!"
