Ahead of the June 25 protests, major roads in Kenya have been blocked and there is a heavy police presence, creating a tense atmosphere. The protests are organized by Gen Z activists, civil society groups, and families of victims to commemorate the two-year anniversary of the 2024 anti-Finance Bill demonstrations, which resulted in the deaths of numerous Kenyan youth.

On June 25, security agencies implemented measures in Nairobi aimed at preventing unrest during the anniversary of a Gen Z protest. However, these restrictions led to significant disruptions in transport and increased tensions throughout the city, according to Eastleigh Voice.

The protests, which originated as a digital campaign, evolved into one of the largest youth-led demonstrations in Kenya's recent history. This movement was characterized by its lack of clear political sponsors, hired crowds, or ethnic divisions, as young Kenyans utilized social media to organize and advocate for their demands.

Kenya's Gen Z protests in 2024, which focused on issues such as proposed tax increases, the rising cost of living, unemployment, and corruption, garnered significant global attention. Initially sparked by opposition to the 2024 Finance Bill, the protests evolved into a broader challenge against the political establishment.

Two years after significant protests by Generation Z against President Ruto's government, thousands of young people in Kenya are preparing to demonstrate once again. The upcoming protests are a response to ongoing issues that have prompted discontent among the youth.

Kenya has passed a controversial bill two years after protests led by the Gen Z movement resulted in violence and fatalities. The legislation has sparked debate and concern among various groups regarding its implications and the circumstances surrounding its approval, according to Al Jazeera.
