Police used water cannons to scatter anti-government demonstrations that turned deadly in the Kangemi area of Nairobi marking the historic 1990 Saba Saba, a Swahili word that means “Seven Seven.”

July 7 is a significant date in Kenya’s history, marking the first major protests 35 years ago that called for a transition from a one-party state to a multiparty democracy.

Anti-government protests have focusing on police brutality and poor governance, while demanding President William Ruto’s resignation over alleged corruption and the high cost of living.
