New protests have erupted in Katsina State, Nigeria, with young people taking to the streets waving Russian flags. 

A viral video circulating on social media shows protesters chanting in Hausa, “Hunger is killing us,” highlighting their frustration and desperation.

The demonstrations are part of the broader ‘End Bad Governance’ movement that began on August 1, 2024. 

This ongoing protest campaign aims to address issues of poor governance and widespread hardship in Nigeria.

Reports indicate that police have responded to the protests by trailing the demonstrators and firing teargas to disperse the crowds. 

The use of Russian flags by the protesters adds a unique dimension to the protests, drawing international attention and raising questions about their motivations and possible external influences. 

The situation in Katsina reflects the growing discontent among Nigerian youth and the urgent need for the government to address their grievances.
