OneIndia Exclusive | World Media Failed To Cover Mass Killings In Kenya, Says Top Scribe

The east African nation of Kenya is witnessing intense nationwide protests against proposed tax hikes, leading to a "total shutdown" of the country on Tuesday.

The situation escalated as police used tear gas and live rounds on protesters.

The controversial finance bill has sparked a widespread movement known as "7 Days of Rage," highlighting immense opposition to the government's financial policies.

Sensing the graveness of the situation, OneIndia's Ansh Pandey spoke exclusively to Ken Asaka, Editor-In-Chief of the Kenya Times. He shared his insights on the situation, the political implications of agitating youths on streets, and how this situation can be tackled.

When asked about how he feels the media worldwide is reacting to the violent Kenyan protests, Aseka said, "While most of the global media has covered what's happening here on surface level, what they missed is reporting on the number mass killings of unarmed protesters by Army. They missed to cover the underlying cause of this unrest and he role of President William Ruto in it."
