A stranded worker sits on a bridge overlooking the Thika Superhighway, one of Kenya's main highways, nearly empty on the second day of a nationwide transport strike over rising fuel prices in Nairobi on May 19, 2026. A Kenyan transport strike, triggered by the Middle East war, brought the country to a halt for a second day on May 19, 2026 after four people died and dozens were injured the previous day.
