How Kenyans are using social media to protest against the political class | The Stream

- Images of Gen Z confronting Kenyan police armed with tear gas, water cannon and live rounds have dominated headlines in recent weeks. What began as a social media movement opposing a proposed finance bill has escalated into fatal antigovernment demonstrations nationwide. Despite President William Ruto withdrawing the bill in response to the fervor of the protests, Kenya's economic challenges, coupled with a sizable educated youth demographic facing scarce job prospects, persistently fuel discontent against the political establishment. It seems the country’s youth movement is just getting started.

Fearless, Partyless, Tribeless
Kabisa kabisa! Kudos Genz zakayo shuka!!
Exactly
This is the exact thing our leaders wanted us to be. Gen Z has broken this norm
i like the tribeless
Leaderless,God did not create man to be ruled by man,but by God Himself.
Jeremiah 31,The Laws of God must be our leader.

Revolution of Africa starts in Kenya🇰🇪. We are fearless, partyless, tribeless, informed.

Proudly kenyan🇰🇪💜
Kenyans I give maximum respect you don't tolerate nonsense😂 Ugandans wake up please

😂😂😂 The government has invested in education for the last 21 years. Most of which is free at primary level 😂
What did they expect 😂
We are Woke
Na Baado....Kenya MUST CHANGE, AFRICA MUST CHANGE
For the good.
amen amen
Absolutely, no other way
Blacks around the world we are with you..❤❤❤❤ God blessings always
❤❤
Go Kenya. I am not Kenyan but my daughter is and I am protesting for her. She will grow up in a better country where the people come first, not greed, not tribe, and not political affiliation or social class.
GOD please 🙏 protect them in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth ❤I’m from Cameroon 🇨🇲 what are we waiting for
Yes darling it’s time our people in Cameroon get rid of those corrupt leaders too. We as Africans should unite be border less & trade amongst ourselves. The West divided is & its time we serve them their own medicine.
❤️ from 🇰🇪 viva Revolution Afrika is ours we standing on biz till the west & east leave us alone.
Kenyans have good english salute.
Not a compliment, but thank you. That colonial language is just a language of communication and no longer a measure of intelligence.
It's the most widely used language here.
one of the benefits of British colonialism was English language and education in comparism to French and Portugese
More love and support to my Kenyan brothers and sisters from an Indian ♥
Thank u
Welcome to your second home
And as Kenyan youth,Gen zs,we are not done.....
We pray for you. You have done us proud.
In God we trust, real change is taking shape.
Mambo bado
Yes sweetie we just getting started ni glucose tuna lamba kabla IEBC wajipange we recall M🐖 then looto awafuate. This year we’re cleansing 🇰🇪
Na bado😂😂😂 we were just warning 😂😂
The dream of Tom Mboya, vision of Kibaki and the ideals of justice planted in us by Prof. Wangari Mathai shall be realised in the fullness of time. Kenyans keep pressing!!
The current Kenyan youth are a force to be reckoned with and are inspiring oppressed people in many places. I was talking to a member if thevDalit community in India and she said that India's "untouchables" are seriously looking at the tactics the Gen Z are employing in Kenya.
This woman is a natural leader. ❤✊🏾
Man ....Genz big up....not in my wildest dreams would I imagine chenye nimeona kenya....May it bear fruits
We ain’t relenting till they go home. Heri watuue genz wote
@@ginarelicsgemstones1506 weeh sawa....nitasemaje
It seems like Al Jazeera has never heard of KOT (Kenyans on Twitter). Thats where everything in Kenya Starts. Ask BBC and CNN 😂😂
They dont know😂😂
@@trendinggossip8692 they only know TikTok
@@trendinggossip8692now, I think they got a glimpse
🤣
We Ghanaians 🇬🇭 Youths Must Also Make Our "Constitution Our Leader"
She has genuine respect and admiration for our young leaders and she researched the piece well. Well done, all!
She thinks like a kenyan.she must be a kenyan and if not we officially adopt her into the cradle of mankind
" When We loose our fear,they loose their Power " Viva Kenya
Faceless, Fearless, Partyless, Tribeless
The Kenyan youth protests in the last few days are reminiscent of the youth protest that ended apartheid in South Africa. I understand that President William Ruto announced a massive cut in the government this week following the protests across Kenya, well done to Kenyan youths.
Fearless Tribeless 🇰🇪💪🏼
And leaderless.
This cry of freedom started way back and was never heard. Many died until today! Kenya is land of God and God will rescue it from distraction.
Proudly Kenyan. ❤ You Gen Z! Aluta continua. RIP departed patriots 😭😭
Wow just wow....MCourie is ahead of time. Speaks the political language of today. And its true ..calling everyone part of this movement GenZ is politicising the Kenyans as infantile. It is wrong and it is the new tribal language. Yes Wanjiru, when Kenyan lose their fear, the political elite lose their power 😢😢😢.
Even in my next life I just want to be a Kenyan 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪. Kenyans are very patience and understanding until they get fed up.
Leaderlsss, Fearless, partyless, Tribeless, decentralized and not aligned to any religion. No country has pulled such a neutral social change movement in the history of global politics. So if you want your country to embrace the changes you need, use this new global model and more importantly, be fearless and ruthless demanding reforms. No Mercy
I am so proud of all of them. They spoke well and really did justice to what this journey has been about and how we got here
Proudly Kenya....just tired of the lies but all we want is change
I pray and hope after all is said and done, Kenya can be a better place to be for future generations
Listening to these three luminaries, Oh! I could cry, tears of joy and hope. United we stand. YES, WHEN WE LOOSE OUR FEAR, THEY LOOSE THEIR POWER. We release ourselves from the strangle they've had on us. We are taking our freedom a day at a time, we will not rest till all are free.
Wanjira Wanjiru is a very powerful name
All we want and need in kenya is complete competence, truthness, and transparency from the government . Not over taxing the people without showcasing the clear projects to the people.
Proudly Kenyan 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Wanjira Wanjiru is a future leader I will follow
I must commend the moderator or the host she's on point and she's driving the conversation well
What a time to be alive ! Gen Z have broken out of the chains of fear and now the sky is the limit
Yes the president has to make a prompt decision who he will work for.. The imf or us.
I am proud of everyone raising their voice and speaking up against govt injustices and corruption. It is about time we start being accountable on who we elect to lead us, and uphold upright moral priciples and values as citizens, our country has been held hostage for a long time by moralless leaders of very dubious character.
how social media is supposed to be used
Proud of Kenyan Youths! 🇰🇪
We thank president ruto for uniting the youth against his cruel government
I.m proud of the Kenyans May God bless You I.m praying for u all
Viva! Kenyan Patriots!
All Kenyans want is Accountability of already collected taxes for the 2 yrs and moving forward.
Power to the People!!
Power is with the People!!
The People are Woke!!
Viva Kenya
God bless Kenya 🇰🇪
Genzs Viva ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 keep the fire 🔥 burning 🔥 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇱🇮
Thanks for the X-SPACE facilitation to keep this cause alive. Viva Kenyan youth !
The people, for the people
Wow, we do it scared and scared
And we won't relent now that's a leader there 🎉
KENYA MUST CHANGE
Very proud as a Kenyan❤.Gen Z made us have hope in our country. Viva!
Dear Aljazeera, this thing didn’t come from Tiktok but X formerly twitter. That is why the president had to host a x space but not a TikTok live.
You don't know what you are saying.
@@RassieKariuki TikTok played a part but what X did was way bigger
Tiktok was way bigger and way more important than twitter. Tiktok live was regularly getting 100k viewers while it was a rarity for spaces to do the same thing.
Yes, it started on X. There's no doubt or argument about that. It just took a life of it's own and TikTok is now bigger, which we're happy about, but X is where it started. We're trying to reach FB now too
@@panafrican.nation There is a reason everyone is talking of X spaces and the president went there.
Radar safi sana Al Jazeera. Hawa ni baadhi ya viongizi bora wa leo. The Kenya we want shall come through our collective effort, action and unfortunate loss but with such people leading it shall surely come true.
Thanks for your video it's very sad 😢 to see how police killing young innocent Kenya . Gen-Z
Ruto must go
It started like something simple and it quickly became a nuclear bomb. Wakenya twasema ahsanteni sana.
Maximum respect to our Genz, I personally salute you! As you soldier on, all generations before you are solidly behind you. Proud of you, and sending love to all.
All support goes out to the struggle ❤❤we lose our fear, they loose their power. Nice to see these progressive africa minds in our time, challenging the power structures that don't serve them.
Anelise Borges did her homework 👏👏
Change is rife in every breath I take here in our motherland, Kenya. Never have I been a proud beneficiary of what Kenya has to offer. Noting the challenges that made us rally ourselves for what is truly patriotism as enshrined in our constitution is a story that should reasonate across African nations marred with run away corruption, impunity and wanton disregard to the rule of law. Daima mimi Mkenya!
As a young Kenyan lady we must take our leader on check.
Just a minute ago we've ended an X space meeting with our president that has lasted for almost 2 hours.We forced him to come in the space listen and respond to our questions.Tommorrow we will have another meeting also.We hope it will make a change.
Waste of time with that liar
waste of time
All he did was evade and dodge questions, kept on repeating success stories about his govt thay only he seems to be aware of and was dishonest on so many matters. I have no faith in Ruto and neither can I trust his judgement.
Was bored pia.He said nothing new and also seemed not to be ready to take any action on his failed cabinet.
Ruto tried to sell Kenya to the west
3:32 "Go back and wait, we will kill even more"? Jesus. Wtf?!
It's DIABOLICAL. The revolution continues
Africa is on the move to good economic revolution
Iam happy to be part of History for real
Revolution here it is
Aluta continua! These young people snd millions more who have raised they voices, and shed their blood 😢 have inspired a hope that i thought I and many of my generation buried in 2022 when Ruto and his regime came to power. Kenya is rising like a phoenix. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I can feel former president Mwai Kibaki alive today. His impact is undoubtedly living in the young once. I am so proud of Kenyans right now.
Waoh! with Kenyan Gen Zs around i can comfortably sit and relax. Proud of you Guys!!!
We're with you 🇰🇪 youth FOR the world. God bless a better 🇰🇪
They will not believe..!
Ruto Must Fall! Aluta continua. 🇰🇪✊🏾
Politicians in Africa are all one and the same... They don't care... We need strict laws against stealing of public funds and powerful institutions and not powerful men... Go go KENYA
Ruto Must Go!
Ruto Must Go
We are not done. We are going for their hefty salaries and the money they have stolen.
Im proud of my country Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 we want accountability and constitutionalism
So proud of our young people. Power to the people ✊️
Leaderless, partyless, Tribeless, Fearless and our constitution is the leader ...this is the new strategy to deal with this reckless people whom call themselves leaders. Power to the youth we have the energy, we can use it to liberate ourselves from mental slavery from the modern colony.
Brilliant panel. Aluta continua
🇰🇪🇰🇪KENYA MY COUNTRY
We give them power and we can take it...they should fear as not the other way round...😡😎🇰🇪
