Kenya is witnessing a social and political evolution and the main driving force appears to be young people in the zoomer generation, or Gen Z. Their protests, caused by concerns over climate change, police brutality, unemployment, and corruption, are a ticking time bomb that the government needs to address with the highest precaution.
It is vital not to underestimate Gen Zs as they are highly familiar with social networks such as Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, which enables them to coordinate at a fast pace, rally the masses, and draw attention to their problems on an international level. Their digital savviness makes their protests more organised and their message way louder than those of the previous generations.
