A video clip obtained from Citizen TV's YouTube live feed has gone viral, showing tens of empty coffins spread across various streets in Nairobi's central business district during ongoing demonstrations against President William Ruto's government.
The coffins, some draped in the Kenyan flag, present a haunting image of the city center. This dramatic display comes just a week after several protesters were shot dead outside Parliament and others injured during last week's demonstrations, which ultimately led President Ruto to withdraw the controversial Finance Bill 2024.
The footage highlights the tense atmosphere as demonstrators continue to express their discontent with the current administration. The symbolic act of laying out coffins underscores the protesters' grievances and the recent loss of life during clashes with security forces.
As the situation unfolds, the government's response to these powerful visuals remains to be seen. The protests show no signs of abating, with citizens demanding accountability and meaningful change from their leaders.
