Kenyan public transport operators suspended a nationwide strike for one week after the government agreed to talks on fuel pricing following a 23.5% rise in diesel prices in May and a 24.2% increase in April, AP reported on May 19. The hikes triggered protests and transport disruptions across major cities, including Nairobi, which peaked on May 18-19 and left at least four dead, more than 30 injured and at least 348 arrested amid clashes with police before negotiations led to the suspension of the strike.
