Today marks a significant day for Kenya as Gen Z protesters remain resolute in their mission to occupy Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Embakasi. With unwavering determination, they are intent on making their voices heard despite the heavy security presence.
In a surprising turn of events, the protesters have successfully outmaneuvered the police by taking alternative routes to reach the airport. A video circulating on social media shows a group of spirited youths marching towards JKIA. This move is seen as a win for the Gen Zs and a setback for the government, with many considering it Gen Z 1, police 0. Their resolve is evident in their demeanor, with many donning tracksuits to facilitate easy movement in case of any confrontation with the authorities.
Social media has become a powerful mobilization tool, uniting youths across the country to occupy JKIA. Their collective demand is for the government to address their concerns. Despite earlier threats from the president, the protesters are determined to camp at the airport until their grievances are acknowledged and acted upon.
