Thousands of Kenyans Gather to Honor Those Who Died in Political Protests | EWTN News Nightly

Thousands of Kenyans gathered on Saba Saba or Seven-Seven day this weekend to honor the nearly 70 dead since political protests began in June. The celebration was held to commemorate the 69 people who lost their lives in an anti-tax protest last month. It started with Mass and prayers in a number of churches around the capital, Nairobi, proceeded by a concert where victims were honored with music and dancing. The Catholic Church has asked all leaders in the country not to ignore the protests. A Senior Fellow for Africa Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, Ebenezer Obadare, joins to explain the evolution of the protests and political unrest in Kenya over the past few weeks. Obadare discusses whether he agrees with the statement that Kenya's protests mark a generational revolution in the country's politics and why.
