5. The Kenya Finance Bill protests
The Kenya Finance Bill 2024 sparked a series of unprecedented protests that rocked the nation. Initially, the bill aimed to increase government revenue through new taxes, including a 16% sales tax on bread and a 25% duty on cooking oil. These proposed tax hikes ignited widespread public outrage, especially among the struggling populace.

4. The Arab Spring (North Africa)
The Arab Spring was a series of anti-government protests that swept across the Arab world in the early 2010s. In North Africa, Tunisia was the catalyst, with the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in December 2010 sparking widespread protests against economic hardship, corruption, and political repression.

3. Sudan's 2018–2019 Protest.
In December 2018, protests erupted in Sudan over the rising cost of living and deteriorating economic conditions, quickly evolving into demands for the resignation of President Omar al-Bashir, who had been in power for 30 years. The protests were marked by widespread civil disobedience and were met with violent crackdowns by security forces.

2. Ethiopia's 2014–2016 Oromo Protests.
The Oromo protests in Ethiopia began in 2014 as a response to the government's plan to expand the capital, Addis Ababa, into the surrounding Oromia region, which many Oromos saw as a threat to their land and rights. The protests quickly grew into a broader movement against political marginalization, economic disenfranchisement, and human rights abuses faced by the Oromo people.

1. The End SARS Protest in Nigeria.
End SARS was a decentralized social movement and series of mass protests against police brutality in Nigeria that mainly occurred in 2020. The movement's slogan called for the disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a notorious unit of the Nigerian Police known for its long record of abuse against Nigerian citizens. The protests originated from a Twitter campaign in 2017, using the hashtag #EndSARS to demand the unit's disbandment by the Nigerian government.
The movement experienced a resurgence in October 2020 following further revelations of the unit's abuses, leading to mass demonstrations across major cities in Nigeria, and widespread outrage on social media platforms. The hashtag #EndSARS accumulated over 28 million tweets on Twitter alone.

What did it impact in our lives?

The endsars cannot be called protest, instead it should be called lootest, A particular tribe in Nigeria use it to cause havoc and destruction in some state in Nigeria, while receiving orders from an albino who stays abroad and a certain DJ who is now seeking asylum in Canada.

I wonder o...

The suffering after is even more than it was before.

God will deliver Africans from greeding leaders

Endsars can't be number one because their are more impactful within the African continent. Endsars didn't really achieve it's major aim as their was loss of lives and till today their is still police brutality and extortion.

At the end Nnmadi Kanu and his people did not achieve anything with endsars protest! Burn tinubu and fashola property,kill Sanwo -olu??

EndSARS shouldn't even be in Top 5, let alone number 1.

End sars 😆

This list must have been compiled by one flat headed monkey !

God bless you,bro

Such will never happen again

The 2024 peaceful protest that held in Lagos supports this claim that if not for those saboteurs from pluto, the End Sars would have been very peaceful too


The few times they didnt partake in a Lagos protest, 2012 and 2024, it ended peacefully

That gives a factual backing to your claims.

What of that 2014 protest that took place in Egypt against Hosni Mubarak
It shook the world far more than the last 2
