Kenyan President Orders Police to Shoot Protesters | JQJO

Kenyan President William Ruto ordered police to shoot protesters in the legs to stop violence during anti-government demonstrations. At least 31 people died in Monday's protests, according to a state body, while the UN and human rights groups criticized the police's excessive force. Ruto defended the police actions, saying attacks on security forces were a "declaration of war." He urged opponents to wait for the 2027 elections, rejecting calls for his removal through unconstitutional means. The opposition accused the government of deploying state-sponsored violence and extrajudicial killings.
