Kenyan protesters call for national strike on June 25

Kenyan protesters called Friday for a national strike on June 25 to oppose proposed tax hikes, following this week's mass demonstrations led by mostly young people across the country.

"Tuesday 25th June: #OccupyParliament and Total Shutdown Kenya. A national strike," read a poster shared widely online by protesters, adding that "Gen Z are granting all hard-working Kenyans a day off. Parents keep your children at home in solidarity."
