Deadly protests erupt in Kenya as Gulf conflict drives fuel price surge | DW News

Protests across Kenya have resulted in deaths and injuries as citizens demonstrate against rapidly rising fuel costs, which have worsened the already difficult cost-of-living crisis. Transport workers, central to the economy, staged strikes that paralyzed major cities, causing significant economic disruption and hardship for commuters. The government has agreed to a temporary suspension of the strike to facilitate consultations with stakeholders, although public frustration remains high. Protesters argue that the government has been unresponsive to their struggles, exacerbated by concerns over high-level government spending while basic commodity prices soar.
