Kenyans wait for public transport during a nationwide transport strike over rising fuel prices in Nairobi on May 18, 2026. Public transport was largely shut down and protesters barricaded roads in Kenya on May 18, 2026 as a strike was called over a fuel price hike triggered by the Middle East war. 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.
