Demonstration Alert for U.S. Citizens
Posts on social media are calling for a “National Day of Remembrance to Demand Justice” for those killed during the 2024 protests. They have announced countrywide marches in all 47 counties starting at 10:00am on Wednesday, June 25, in addition to vigils and gatherings in the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) on June 24 and 25. Demonstrations may also take place throughout next week with little advance notice.
