At Least Four People Shot Dead in Kenya as Saba Saba Protests Flare Up, Reports Say
Two were killed in Nairobi’s Kangemi district, and two other in Ngong, southwest of the capital, according to a local news channel's live broadcast.
One of the victims in Kangemi was not a protester — a man reportedly killed by stray gunfire while walking home from work, a witness told the news channel.
Gunfire has been heard in several Kenyan cities as anti-riot police attempt to control chaotic crowds. The police are also firing tear gas.
The annual Saba Saba protests commemorate the historic 1990 demonstrations that led to the end of Kenya’s one-party rule. In 2025 the protests were reportedly fueled by rising living costs, corruption, and police brutality.
