No evidence the UN cautioned Kenyan president William Ruto over deadly crackdown on protesters

The deadly anti-tax protests in Kenya have made headlines around the world. But the United Nations has not warned Kenya n president William Ruto against using force to quell the protests.:"Respect the constitution and ensure the protection of citizens' rights. Facilitate peaceful demonstrations and uphold the principles of democracy. Any act of suppression or violence is unacceptable. Prioritize dialogue and respect human rights.

It is also unlikely that the UN would confront the Kenyan president on social media. Such complaints would probably have been made through private diplomatic channels. Even if it had been done on social media, it would probably not have been in such a harsh tone.There is also a lack of mainstream media reporting on what would have been a newsworthy letter.).
