At least eight killed in deadly Kenya protests: What we know

Several protesters were killed and at least 400 others were wounded on Wednesday when antigovernment protests in the capital, Nairobi turned deadly.

Kenyan officials have not disclosed the number of casualties. Reports from media and rights groups varied, placing the number of dead between eight and 16.

This is the latest outbreak of violence in the East African country where young demonstrators have frequently taken to the streets in recent months to protest myriad issues including police brutality, government corruption and high taxes.

The demonstrations on Wednesday were held to mark the bloody June 25, 2024, protests against tax rises when police opened fire on large numbers of protesters, killing at least 60, according to rights groups

It was a c word that is meant to be used endearingly from one woman to another. Didn't realize it got removed lol

While the usage of the word is definitely intended as feminist positivity, I assume it's been removed because of possible trans exclusion? Idk I'm a fucking white dude, can someone please confirm or deny?

Most people on Lemmy are male outside of hexbear so maybe it's for the best

What's for the best? Sorry, I'm dumb. I'm just asking if that's the reason for the removal

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

oh just removing specific works like the c word is probably for the best due to the high amounts of redditors on the fediverse
