Reports have emerged of protests taking place in the Central Business District of Nairobi and Isiolo Province. The unrest follows a decision by the County Assembly to impeach the governor.
U.S. citizens in these areas are advised to take several precautions for their safety. They should avoid protests and crowds, monitor local media for updates, and ensure that vehicle doors are locked and windows rolled up while traveling. It is also recommended to inform friends and family about one's whereabouts and safety status, review personal security plans, and carry a copy of a U.S. passport with a current Kenyan visa.
For assistance, U.S. citizens can contact the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi located on United Nations Avenue in Gigiri at +254 (0) 20 363 6451 or through their website for U.S. Citizen Services.
