The Gen Z protests in Kenya have stunned many observers both locally and in other countries across the African continent, but it is worth noting that mass protests in the country have become a common occurrence since the 1990s.
They were, however, mainly, church leaders, students and civil society during the struggle for multi-party democracy and constitutional reforms.
Most memorable was the Saba Saba protests on July 7, 1990, which later turned into running battles but never before have the youth taken sole and individual responsibility without being led by the established political leaders to champion for change as is the case in the ongoing agitation by Generation Z.
At the point when then-lobbyist Timothy Njoya was pummeled by hostile to revolt cops during the Saba insurgency.
The Gen Z fights in Kenya have dazed numerous eyewitnesses both locally and in different nations across the African mainland, however significant mass fights in the nation have turned into a typical event since the 1990s.
They were, in any case, chiefly determined by the resistance, church pioneers, understudies and common society during the battle for multi-party a vote based system and sacred changes.
Most essential was the Saba fights on July 7, 1990, which later transformed into running fights however never before have the adolescent assumed sole and individual liability without being driven by the laid out political pioneers to support for change just like the case in the continuous tumult by Age Z.
