The United States Embassy in Kenya has issued a security advisory to American citizens, warning of possible demonstrations across the country ahead of the June 25 anniversary of anti-government protests witnessed in recent years.
In a statement released on Thursday, the embassy said protests could occur at any time, with the likelihood of demonstrations expected to increase around June 25, particularly in major urban centres and Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD).
The embassy cautioned that any demonstrations could result in significant traffic disruptions, congestion, and roadblocks set up by both protesters and law enforcement officers.
“Demonstrations may occur at any time, with an increased likelihood around June 25,” the advisory stated.
American citizens were urged to remain vigilant, avoid areas where demonstrations are taking place, monitor local media for updates, and follow instructions issued by local authorities.
“Demonstrations can lead to traffic disruptions, congestion, and roadblocks established by protesters and police,” the embassy added.
The advisory comes amid heightened public attention ahead of the anniversary, with authorities closely monitoring the security situation across the country.
