Kenyan activists vow to keep protesting as chaos ensues in the capital. President Ruto backtracks on finance bill after deadly clashes. IMF advises government amidst unrest. Uganda imports oil via Mombasa port.

Kenyan streets are boiling with tension as protesters refuse to back down in the face of deadly clashes over the country's financial bill. Demonstrators, met with tear gas and police intervention, are determined to make their voices heard loud and clear. The youth-led movement's strong stance against President William Ruto's administration has intensified, leading to multiple deaths and numerous injuries in the ongoing protests.

Security forces are on high alert in Nairobi following the dramatic storming of the parliament building by furious protesters. The scenes of chaos and violence have gripped the nation with uncertainty as activists mobilize for further demonstrations. Amidst the turmoil, President Ruto has made a surprising move by withdrawing the controversial finance bill due to the overwhelming public outcry.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has issued recommendations to the Kenyan government in the wake of the unrest, urging a commitment to reforms despite the volatile situation. Furthermore, neighboring Uganda's direct oil imports through Mombasa port signal a significant regional economic development amidst the tumultuous events in Kenya.

In a twist of events, President Ruto's concession to the protesters marks a rare victory for public dissent in the country's political landscape. The clashes in Nairobi serve as a stark reminder of the power of grassroots movements and the impact of public outrage on governmental decisions.
