Families in Rift Valley are living a nightmare 💔
Dozens of Kenyan youths who traveled to Russia for “job opportunities” are now missing… others feared dead in the ongoing Russia–Ukraine conflict.

One mother from Uasin Gishu is desperately searching for answers after her son’s messages suddenly went silent. Many families say they’ve been left completely in the dark — no communication, no confirmation, no closure.

Now, pressure is mounting on the government to act, investigate recruitment networks, and help trace or bring back their loved ones.

👉 How did these young Kenyans end up in a war zone?
👉 And why are families being denied answers?

“Eldoret Court Orders Arrest in Child Exploitation Case”

An Eldoret court has issued a warrant of arrest against a Somali national accused of cross-border child exploitation and ill-treatment of a 13-year-old girl. The suspect, Ayan Mohammed Afra, failed to appear in court, prompting Senior Principal Magistrate Kesse Cherono to direct police to arrest her and present her on April 16, 2026.

The court heard that the minor was unlawfully brought into Kenya and placed in domestic service under harsh conditions. The case came to light after a neighbour reported the matter to police, leading to the child’s rescue.

The victim is currently receiving care, with the court ordering medical attention and continued support as investigations continue. Authorities say efforts to trace the suspect are ongoing.
