Original Note:
Incorrect and lacks context. MOST debts are to international sovereign bonds. And NOT to China. VOA notes that China's loans are modest compared to those from ISBs and Eurobond holders. IMF is primarily bailing out ISB debts, and protests are against their conditions. https://www.imf.org/en/News/Articles/2024/06/10/pr-24213-kenya-agreement-on-7th-reviews-of-eff-and-ecf-arrangements-and-2nd-review-under-rsf https://www.voanews.com/a/deadly-kenya-protests-spurred-by-international-debt-woes/7677212.html
