EARTH · VERIFIED CONFLICT RECORD
Conflict in Kenya
This is a verified record, not a live feed. UCDP hand-codes every event from published sources, which takes weeks — the newest event here is from 2026-05-31. For what is happening right now, LEV’s Global Incidents layer carries the machine-coded newswire at about fifteen minutes’ delay.
Between 3 Jan 2024 and 25 May 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 82 events of organised violence in Kenya from published sources. Their best estimate is 223 people killed — and their own range runs 204–301, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.
What the record holds
UCDP range 204–301.
65 placed precisely enough to map; 17 counted but not pinned, because UCDP could place them no closer than a province.
