Graves of Protesters: Families share the pain of losing sons in 2024 protest

There’s a pain no parent should ever know — the unbearable grief of burying a child. For many Kenyan families, that pain became a harsh reality during the gen z protests that swept Nairobi last year. Ericson Kyalo and David Chege’s mothers know this pain too well. For a year, they have carried the burden of losing sons shot dead in broad daylight outside Parliament on June 25th. As Mashirima Kapombe reports, this is a story of heartbreak, resilience, and a desperate search for justice in the shadow of a nation’s darkest days.
