Kenyan President William Ruto fired nearly his entire cabinet following weeks of deadly protests over proposed tax hikes and government corruption. Despite abandoning the tax hikes, protests continue, focusing on corruption. Activists vow to persist despite the cabinet shake-up. Just six weeks earlier, Ruto was celebrated for his environmental commitments and support for Western diplomatic priorities, including deploying Kenyan police to Haiti. However, like other African leaders, Ruto faces growing anger from young citizens over government profligacy and graft amid economic hardships. Ruto called the situation an “inflection point” in a televised address.
