Gunshots at Generation Z: Inside Kenya’s Youth Uprising

Season 4 Episode 8

In this gripping episode, we spotlight the ongoing youth-led protests in Kenya, where peaceful demonstrations have been met with brutal force and gunshots—leaving dozens of young people dead and hundreds wounded. Our guest, a youth activist and KECTIL Kenya Chapter leader, joins us to unpack the root causes of the movement, the role of digital resistance, the tragic toll of police violence, and how young Kenyans are turning grief into a demand for justice, leadership, and long-term development. Also joined by another young speaker from Kenya who will take us from the streets to the strategy rooms, this episode is a raw and real conversation on resistance, resilience, and the future of youth in Kenya.
