As Kenya protests police killings, families search for the disappeared
NAIROBI — No one seems to know what happened to Emmanuel Mukuria. Not his friends, who said they last saw him being dragged off the streets of the Kenyan capital by unidentified men during an anti-government protest. And not his family, which has spent a year searching for him.
The 24-year-old bus driver disappeared June 25, 2024, during a demonstration against a controversial finance bill that would have sent the price of basic goods soaring. Less than an hour after Kenyan politicians passed the legislation, Parliament was in flames and three protesters had been shot outside the building.
