JOE BIDEN‘s government condemns the attack on journalists during AZIMIO mass protests on Thursday

Friday, March 31, 2023 – The United States government is “deeply concerned” by reports of attacks against journalists during anti-government protests organized by the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition and its leader Raila Odinga on Thursday.

In a tweet on Friday morning, US ambassador to Kenya Meg Whitman noted that “protecting press freedom and safety is a cornerstone of democracy,”

“The United States is deeply concerned by recent reports of attacks against journalists. Protecting press freedom and safety is a cornerstone of democracy,” she said.

Several journalists have been injured during the protests that officially began on March 20, as the opposition pushes for, among other things, a lower cost of living and an overhaul of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
