Protests in Bangladesh, initially sparked by a quota system for civil service jobs, have escalated into a major anti-government movement demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The movement, fueled by broader discontent with the government’s policies and perceived corruption, has seen widespread unrest and violence, prompting a severe response from the government.
Kenyan police have banned demonstrations in central Nairobi, citing infiltration by criminal gangs, as anti-government protests continue across the country. These protests, sparked by proposed tax hikes, have resulted in at least 50 deaths and ongoing calls for President Ruto’s resignation and systemic reforms. Despite concessions from Ruto, including withdrawing the legislation and dismissing his cabinet, the protests persist, highlighting a deep-seated crisis in the country.
