Transport protests hit Kenya over fuel prices

TOPSHOT - A protester chants anti-government slogans on a road blocked with stones to prevent traffic from passing during a nationwide transport strike over rising fuel prices in Nairobi on May 18, 2026.

Kenya is one of many African countries dependent on fuel imports from the Gulf, and heavily hit by Iran's effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz through which a fifth of the world's oil normally passes.
