Kenya Protests 2025: Who Was Albert Ojwang? | Police Brutality, Saba Saba & Gen Z Uprising

Kenya is at a boiling point.
In June 2025, the tragic death of Albert Ojwang—a young teacher and political blogger—while in police custody sparked national outrage and ignited massive anti-government protests across the country. On July 7, 2025, also known as Saba Saba Day, Kenyans, especially the youth, took to the streets in 23 counties demanding justice, police accountability, and economic reform.

This video dives deep into the July 2025 Kenya protests, the legacy of Saba Saba, and the alarming reports of police brutality, including the use of live ammunition against unarmed protesters. According to the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), at least 10 people were killed and 29 injured during the July 7 demonstrations alone. These events are not isolated—they’re part of a broader wave of unrest that began in 2024 over tax hikes and cost-of-living issues under President William Ruto’s administration.
