Police sit in their trucks as they take a break from patrols in the Central Business District (CBD) in anticipation of anti-government protests to commemorate the struggle against government oppression on annual day of protest known as Saba-saba in Nairobi on July 07, 2026. Kenyan police banned a march to mark an annual day of protest on Tuesday, using plainclothes officers and unmarked cars to drag away even the tiny group that managed to assemble. The Kenyan government of President William Ruto has taken a zero-tolerance attitude to even the slightest hint of protest after massive and deadly demonstrations over the past two years.
