A significant traffic disruption occurred on Mombasa-Diani Road due to a police security operation targeting youths leaving the Diani Summer Tide Festival on July 6, 2025.

• Police set up roadblocks, resulting in delays that caused some travellers to miss the 3:00 p.m. train to Nairobi.
• Authorities acted on intelligence regarding youths chanting "Wantam" who were potentially heading to the upcoming Saba Saba commemoration.
• While there were no confirmed arrests, the operation aimed to ensure public safety ahead of the politically sensitive date.
