This year's Idd Ul-Fitr celebrations were marked by concerns over rising insecurity and renewed calls for unity and peace.

Major security operations at the Coast saw the arrest of at least 200 youths linked to violent crime, while tensions over grazing rights escalated in Kilifi and Tana River.

Religious leaders also urged faithful to embrace peace and charity, emphasising the importance of national cohesion.

On Sunday, during Idd prayers at Tononoka, Mombasa, Mining, Blue Economy, and Maritime Affairs Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho warned the youth that their future was in jeopardy if they engaged in crime.
