Four Kenyans died and at least 30 were injured on Monday in fuel price protests triggered by the Middle East war, which saw the country's public transport system grind to a halt.
One of many African countries dependent on fuel imports from the Gulf, Kenya has been heavily affected by Iran's effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's oil normally passes.
The transport sector, especially operators of the “matatu” buses that provide most public transport in Kenya, called the strike on Monday after another steep price rise last week.
