A significant police presence has been deployed across Nairobi, Kenya, on June 25th, 2026, coinciding with the second anniversary of the “Maanda Mano” protests. The Maanda Mano movement involved youth demonstrations against the 2024 finance law and culminated in the storming of Parliament. The original protests resulted in approximately thirty deaths due to police suppression. Today, Nairobi’s Central Business District is effectively shut down, with roads blocked to prevent access. Authorities are anticipating potential unrest linked to the anniversary, aiming to prevent a repeat of the violent clashes from two years prior. The heavy security measures reflect concerns over renewed demonstrations and potential public disorder.
