What you need to know:

  • Welcome to our live blog. We document the events of July 7, 2025, as the country marks the historic Saba Saba Day amid a wave of Gen Z-led protests that have rocked the nation in recent weeks. Unlike previous Saba Saba commemorations, this year's protests have been heavily influenced by online mobilisation on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), TikTok and Facebook.
