Activist Mwabili Mwagodi, a vocal critic of Kenyan President William Ruto, has disappeared in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, under circumstances suggesting abduction, with both the Kenyan and Tanzanian governments remaining silent on the matter.

• Mwabili Mwagodi vanished in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday, last seen in Kigamboni while working at Amani Beach Hotel.
• His disappearance has sparked fears of a coordinated regional crackdown on dissidents, particularly among Kenya’s Gen Z-led activist community.
• Hussein Khalid, CEO of human rights group VOCAL Africa, highlighted a pattern of cross-border repression, citing previous incidents involving Kenyan activists like Boniface Mwangi and others denied entry or deported from Tanzania.
• Mwagodi's last X post notably targeted top Kenyan security officials and the president, labeling them "criminals," shortly before his disappearance.
• An online campaign, #FreeMwabiliMwagodi, is demanding accountability from both governments, who are currently remaining quiet.
