Africa’s commentariat say Kenya’s youth-led protests against high taxes, corruption, and waste seem to inspire similar actions in other parts of the continent, as their Gen Z peers in several countries including Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Malawi, and Uganda announce protests against their governments.

In Ghana, a Gen Z protest ended on a whimper. They didn’t show up in numbers worth even a photograph. They were on the streets just over a week ago, protesting a bill that would give judicial officers and MPs a hefty rise.
