The US State Department has condemned the recent violence in Kenya, calling for restraint to restore order and create space for dialogue. The State Department spokesperson expressed condolences for the lives lost and injuries sustained during the unrest.
Similarly, the UN Secretary-General has urged Kenya's police and security forces to exercise restraint in handling the situation. The Secretary-General is deeply concerned about the reported violence and saddened by the casualties, including journalists and medical personnel.
The UN spokesperson emphasized the importance of respecting human rights and conducting thorough investigations into any deaths caused by security forces. The recent protests in Nairobi, triggered by a controversial finance bill, resulted in at least five fatalities due to police firing live rounds at demonstrators.
