Hilarious Memes and Tweets After the Curfew Was Lifted

On Mashujaa Day, President Uhuru Kenyatta finally lifted the nationwide curfew that had been in effect for one and a half years.

In the run up to this announcement, there was growing speculation that he would be lifting it, and the president himself hinted on that a few days prior, when he said it would be lifted soon.

The nation breathed a collective sigh of relief. There was jubilation everywhere, and particularly on social media.

On Twitter, we collected some of the funniest reactions after the announcement.

Check them out.
