Total impunity for the perpetrators, and full support from the UK & US for the junta ever since

The government have backed off their tax plans now.

NAIROBI, June 26 (Reuters) - Kenyan President William Ruto on Wednesday withdrew planned tax hikes, bowing to pressure from protesters who had stormed parliament, launched demonstrations across the country and threatened more action this week.

The move will be seen as a major victory for a week-old, youth-led protest movement that grew from online condemnations of tax rises into mass rallies demanding a political overhaul, in the most serious crisis of Ruto's two-year-old presidency.
