Kenyan Families Protest Alleged Deception of Youths Into Russia’s War
Women protested outside Kenya’s Parliament in Nairobi, holding photographs of relatives they say were lured to Russia with job offers and later pushed into military service. Winnie Rose Wambui said her brother, Samuel Maina, travelled after being promised work as a mall security guard. She later received a distressing voice note from him, reportedly recorded in a forest. Another Kenyan, Clinton Nyapara Mogesa, told his brother he had found work in Russia after his contract in Qatar ended. Two days after arriving in Moscow, he reportedly said he had begun military training. Communication stopped after he said he was awaiting deployment. The cases have renewed concern over alleged recruitment networks targeting African job seekers for Russia’s war in Ukraine. Reports indicate that thousands of Africans from dozens of countries may have fought for Russia.
