"Kenya's Deadly Protests: Police Conceal Deaths as Anger Boils Over"

An independent watchdog in Kenya has reported that police shot dead at least six people during protests against tax increases and the rising cost of living. It is alleged that police have been ordered not to report deaths during the crackdown on protests. There are growing concerns about the tactics used by the police under President William Ruto's government, with accusations of excessive force and interference with police operations. The government is now having to defend itself to donors, including the United States, who have spent millions promoting police accountability. Human rights organizations have warned about a culture of impunity in Kenya, and there are fears that the situation could escalate further.
