Kenyan President William Ruto said Sunday 30 July 2023 he would “not negotiate about the safety of our country” with his rival after agreeing to dialogue to end violent protests against his government. Both sides announced on Saturday that they would join a committee to resolve their differences “amicably” following a sustained campaign of opposition-led street demonstrations that left at least 20 people dead. Opposition leader Raila Odinga has staged nine days of protests since March against what he says is an illegitimate government responsible for an economic crisis hurting the poor.

One of East Africa’s most stable democracies, the unrest has provoked alarm at home and abroad and spurred calls for mediation to end the standoff. Ruto said he was open to dialogue but warned his opponent against any more “violent demonstrations” that put life and property at risk.
