The Irreecha festival made a triumphant return to Nairobi’s Uhuru Park after a ten-year hiatus.

For many participants, the celebration held profound significance, marking the first time they could celebrate freely since the period of the kidnapping and disappearance of Oromo activist Dabbasaa Guyyoo.

Attendees expressed deep emotion, noting that the festival’s return symbolized a powerful renewal of culture and community after a long and difficult interruption.
