Kenya: Environmental activists to demonstrate in Nairobi’s Uhuru Park September 25

Event

Environmental activists are set to hold a demonstration in Nairobi's Uhuru Park on Friday, September 25, against a US-Kenya trade deal that they believe would ease plastic bans. Participants in the demonstration, which has been organized by the Kenya Environmental Activists Network (KEAN), are set to gather from 10:00 (local time). The protest is expected to pass off peacefully.

Disruptions to travel and business are to be anticipated in the vicinity of the demonstration, and a heightened security presence is likely around any protest site.

Advice

Those in Nairobi are advised to monitor developments to the situation, avoid all protests as a precaution, and adhere to all instructions issued by the local authorities.
