Nairobi, Kenya CNN —Protesters in Kenya have vowed “a total shutdown” as they seize control of Nairobi’s main international airport on Tuesday as deadly anti-government demonstrations intensify, now entering their sixth week.
At least 50 people have been killed during the protests and more than 400 injured, according to the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights.
The cabinet nominees still need parliamentary approval, but they’re likely to be confirmed since Ruto’s party holds the required majority.
On Sunday, the president expressed frustration with the protests, declaring that “enough is enough” after failed attempts at dialogue.
“They keep saying they’re faceless, formless.
