The All-Africa Students Union (AASU) stands in solidarity with the students and citizens of Kenya amidst the ongoing protests against the controversial finance bill, which has introduced unpopular tax measures leading to significant public outrage and widespread youth-led protests. The AASU condemns the use of excessive force by the Kenyan government and calls for an immediate end to the violence against peaceful protesters.

|We urge the Kenyan government to engage in constructive dialogue with protest leaders to address the concerns raised by the finance bill. A thorough and independent investigation must be conducted into the deaths, injuries, and arrests of protesters. Educational institutions, humanitarian organizations, and the international community are called upon to support students affected by the protests.
