US citizens in Kenya have been advised to exercise caution amid planned protests in Nairobi and other major cities on Monday, January 6.
In a demonstration alert, the US Embassy noted that while the protests were largely peaceful on Monday morning, the possibility of violence erupting could not be ruled out.
The embassy also warned its citizens of potential major traffic disruptions due to increased checkpoints, particularly on major roads in Nairobi. "There have been calls for nationwide anti-government protests across Kenya on Monday, January 6, 2025.
Demonstrations in central business districts across the country and potential road blockages of major thoroughfares are possible," the statement read.
