TEARGAS AND BULLETS WON'T SILENCE KENYANS: RUTO'S REGIME ON TRIAL.

Nairobi, Kenya - In a scathing rebuke, opposition leaders have condemned the government's heavy-handed response to peaceful protests in the CBD, calling it "cowardly" and a "dangerous path to anarchy". The demonstrations, sparked by demands for rights and accountability, were met with teargas and live ammunition, drawing sharp criticism from citizens and leaders alike.

"The use of live bullets on peaceful citizens is unacceptable," said a statement from the opposition. "A government scared of its people has no legitimacy. Mr. William Ruto, you have chosen a path traveled by a few African dictators, and you know what befell them when their time came."

Protesters, undeterred by the crackdown, vowed to continue fighting for their rights. "Teargas, bullets, and all weapons that exist cannot extinguish the will of the people of Kenya," they declared.

The international community is watching as Kenya's government faces mounting pressure to respect citizens' rights and address grievances peacefully.
