U.S. Issues Warning After Violent Protests in Nairobi CBD

The United States government has issued a strong warning to its citizens in Kenya, advising them to stay away from the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) following violent protests that erupted on Thursday, June 12.

In a travel advisory released by the U.S. Department of State, the American government expressed serious concern over the chaotic situation in the CBD, citing reports of tear gas and live bullets being used during the demonstrations.

The statement described the protests as dangerous and urged American citizens to avoid the affected areas until calm is restored.

“Violent protests are currently underway in the Central Business District (CBD) of Nairobi,” read part of the advisory. “Unverified reports have indicated the use of tear gas and live ammunition.”

Due to the heightened risk, the U.S. Bureau of Consular Affairs strongly advised Americans in Kenya to remain extremely cautious.

Citizens were specifically told to avoid large gatherings, steer clear of the CBD, and keep friends and family informed about their location at all times. These steps, the U.S. government noted, are critical to ensuring personal safety during this volatile period.

The advisory also emphasized the importance of carrying valid identification. U.S. nationals were reminded to always have their passport and a valid Kenyan visa on them in case they are stopped and questioned by authorities. This could help avoid unnecessary complications or misunderstandings.

Furthermore, the U.S. urged its citizens to keep up with developments by closely following trusted local media outlets, which can provide timely updates on the protests and related security concerns.

As of Thursday afternoon, the demonstrations in Nairobi’s CBD had intensified, prompting the police to take aggressive action to control the situation. Riot officers used tear gas to scatter angry protestors who had flooded the streets in large numbers.

The demonstrations severely disrupted normal business activities, forcing many shops to close and office workers to flee the area.

The protests were mainly sparked by two major issues. First was the brutal killing of popular blogger Albert Ojwang’, a case that has generated widespread outrage across the country.

Second was public anger over the 2025/2026 national budget, which had just been presented in Parliament by Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi.

Many Kenyans expressed frustration with the government’s financial proposals, which they believe will increase the cost of living.

As tensions grew, several cases of vandalism were reported. Protestors were seen uprooting newly installed public litter bins and dragging them along major roads in the CBD. This act came despite earlier warnings by the Nairobi County Government, which had cautioned residents against damaging public property.

One of the most disturbing scenes was witnessed near Kenya Cinema, where two vehicles were set on fire during intense confrontations between demonstrators and anti-riot police officers. Thick smoke could be seen billowing over parts of the city, adding to the fear and confusion already gripping the area.

The U.S. government also shared safety tips for those moving around Nairobi in private vehicles. Americans were advised to keep their car doors locked, windows rolled up, and avoid making unnecessary stops until the protests have completely calmed down.

This travel alert is a clear indication of how serious the situation in Nairobi has become. As the protests continue to unfold, both locals and foreigners are being encouraged to remain vigilant and prioritize their safety above everything else.
