Kenya: National Security Team to Discuss Wave of School Fires and Student Protests

Kenya's National Security Advisory Committee has a meeting locked in for June 8, and schools are front and center on the agenda. The committee is set to deliberate on what has become an alarming pattern of fires and student unrest breaking out across the country.

The timing signals that the situation has moved beyond a matter for educators alone. When a national security body steps in, the conversation shifts from school discipline to something larger, and that is where Kenya finds itself right now.

What the committee decides, and what comes out of that room on June 8, could shape how the country responds to a generation of students clearly trying to say something.
