At least 1,800 people have been displaced following three days of tribal clashes in Angata Barikkoi, Trans Mara South, Narok County, according to the Kenya Red Cross.
The humanitarian agency said at least 253 households were burnt down, forcing affected families to seek shelter in schools, dispensaries and open spaces, with some spending nights under trees.
“Children, women, and persons with disabilities are the most affected, with food stores destroyed by fire,” the Kenya Red Cross said in a statement issued on December 21, 2025.
The agency added that its teams are on the ground conducting assessments, offering psychosocial support and mobilising additional humanitarian assistance for the affected communities.
The displacement comes amid heightened insecurity in the volatile region, where several deaths have been reported.
Police have since imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew as part of efforts to restore order.
Deputy Inspector General of Police Eliud Lagat announced the curfew in Trans Mara South and Trans Mara West, citing rising unrest in the two sub-counties.
Speaking on Saturday, December 20, 2025, DIG Lagat said the curfew takes effect from 6pm, noting that the areas have been declared disturbed zones and are under a special security operation.
“The regions are now considered disturbed areas and a special operation is ongoing to restore calm,” DIG Lagat said, warning individuals in possession of illegal firearms to surrender them within 72 hours or face appropriate action.
In Trans Mara West, the curfew will be observed in Nkararu area.
In Trans Mara South, affected areas include Oldonyo-Orok, Siteti, Ololoma, Corner, Ratiki, Isokon, Kerinkani, Kondamet, Olkiloriti, Angata Barikkoi, Kapkeres, Lolgorian town, Mashangwa and Sachangwan.
