Two years on, Kenyan families still seek justice after Gen Z protests

Two years after the widespread Gen Z protests that swept Kenya, families of those killed and missing say they are still waiting for justice. Investigations into the deaths and disappearances that occurred during the demonstrations appear to have stalled, leaving accountability out of reach.

The protests, which began in 2020, saw significant public outcry against police brutality and government policies. While the movement brought issues of accountability and justice to the forefront, many families affected by the violence now feel their pursuit of justice has hit a dead end. They report that official investigations have not yielded meaningful progress, leaving them without answers or recourse.

The lack of progress in these cases highlights ongoing challenges in achieving accountability for state actions. Families continue to grapple with the loss of loved ones and the uncertainty surrounding the circumstances of their deaths or disappearances. The passage of time has only amplified their calls for thorough investigations and justice for those who lost their lives or went missing during the protests.
