The youth-led anti-tax protests that shook Kenya in the last two weeks of June appeared to have been finally contained, after President William Ruto withdrew the controversial Finance Bill and offered to engage the youth in talks, easing concerns about the situation degenerating into a full-scale revolution.
In the streets of Nairobi, where the protests first broke out on June 18, the number of protesters was smaller on the last day of the demos on Tuesday, compared to the scary scenes a week ago, when a crowd stormed Parliament and set part of it on fire.
