Following the protest against a controversial finance bill in Kenya that claimed over eight young demonstrators, Political activist and co-founder of the #BringBackOurGirls movement has described African leaders as “Baby Tyrants”
She disclosed this on X when reacting to the approach employed by the Kenyan President, William Ruto, in addressing the ongoing protest in Kenya.
“African Rulers Are Baby Tyrants. Little-minded people who run berserk at the hint of power. President Ruto that the people of Kenya stood with just yesterday!” Aisha Yesufu tweeted.
It should be recalled that the vote to move the bill forward incensed an already angry crowd, leading to the breach of police lines and the parliament.
Police shot live rounds at protesters, killing eight.

The protests were hijacked by “dangerous people,” according to the president.
“I hereby put on notice the planners, financiers, orchestrators, and abettors of violence and anarchy, that these security infrastructures established to protect our republic and its sovereignty, will be deployed to secure the country and restore normalcy,” Ruto said in his speech later on Tuesday.
In the speech that denounced the attacks as sponsored by elements of terror, Ruto said repeatedly that all security organs had been deployed to restore calm.
