Hundreds of travellers in Garissa Town were left stranded on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, after multiple bus companies suspended services to Nairobi.

• The suspension follows a series of attacks and growing tensions between pastoralists and farmers, including a deadly bandit attack in Tseikuru, Kitui County, that killed seven people.
• Bus operators have stated they will only resume services once security concerns are addressed.
• The disruption has significantly impacted travellers, including a resident who needed to reach Nairobi for a work event and another seeking urgent medical attention from a specialist.
