Nana, as she calls herself on the platform, expressed deep concern about the silence of a fellow X user known as Artemas's Muse.
She noted that Artemas had shared a chilling tweet that made her fear for the young woman’s life and whereabouts.
When did Artemas go missing?
The tweet, posted on Wednesday, June 25, during the Gen Z memorial protests held across the country, read:
"I am almost dying," accompanied by a photo of tear gas fired in Nairobi's CBD.
She was reportedly taking cover after police hurled tear gas canisters at protesters in an attempt to disperse them.
Since then, the young woman has gone silent, with Nana noting that her phone has been unreachable.
When was the last time Artemas was seen?
"Her phone is unreachable. If any of you have seen or talked to her, please let us know. She hasn’t tweeted in hours," Nana posted, sharing a video of her friend heading to the protests.
Another X user mentioned that the missing woman was last seen walking home at around 4.45pm.
Many netizens expressed concern, replying to the thread asking for updates and hoping for her safety.
Others began speculating and forming theories, condemning the unfortunate events that occurred during the protests.
Kenyans on X react to Nana's tweet
Some of the reactions included:
bgftjcypsy:
“Men will be quiet about the issues they face or won’t be vocal about advocating for other men, but wait until a woman speaks up about what women are going through — suddenly it’s ‘but even men...’”
kweyahh:
“Women were killed. People protested yesterday, and some didn’t make it back home. There were incidents in Rongai and Kikuyu/Gitaru where live bullets were used. We can’t just go back to business as usual on the timeline.”
sandiwithnoy:
“I’m sorry, but I’m not strong enough to sit here and pretend I’m okay. Women were shot, others robbed, beaten, while fighting for our cause. I feel sick. I weep for the women in my country.”
its_murugi:
“Have you seen NjeriWaMigwi’s timeline? Goons were grabbing women off motorbikes and taking them away.
"If you were at the protests yesterday and know a lady you haven’t heard from, please post about it and tag people so we can amplify! My goodness, we are in hell.”
ArkhamsRose:
“I can’t sleep because I’m scared. Her phone has said ‘user busy’ since 7pm. I don’t even know her well — we’re not even friends — but I’m terrified for her.”
whoisnashiii:
“Kenyan women show up to maandamano knowing they’re a target, while Kenyan men scoff at femicide marches. Kenyan women suffer for a country that refuses to love them.”
