Hanifa Farsafi at forefront of Kenyan protests over tax increases

NAIROBI, Kenya (HOL) — Kenya's proposed tax hikes have ignited widespread protests, with Hanifa Farsafi, a Somali activist, emerging as a prominent leader. Videos of Farsafi at the forefront of the protests have gone viral on social media, drawing significant attention to the cause.
