Monday, July 8, 2024 - Thousands of youth staged a surprise march in the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) on Sunday night after the Uhuru Park Shujaaz Memorial Concert and caught the police off-guard.
Hundreds of those who attended the concert at Uhuru Park converged in the Central Business District where they chanted songs in honour of the fallen heroes and sang revolution songs.
Areas around the Tom Mboya statue and National Archives were the central areas
where most of the youth gathered while honouring their peers who lost their
lives at the height of the anti-Finance Bill 2024 protests.
Police were compelled to watch from a distance as the protesters
went on with their business in Nairobi City centre.
Nairobi Area Police Commander intervened and pleaded with
the youthful protesters to go home after instructing anti-riot police officers
to avoid provoking them.
They had a dialogue with the police commander and agreed to
disperse for home peacefully.
A video shared on social media shows the protesters shaking
hands with the police commander and gifting him a jerrican of milk.
