Japhet Mose is Another Kenyan Killed in Russia's Army. His Family Is Begging for Help to Bring Him Home.

Japhet Mose from Amabuko Village, Rigoma Ward, Nyamira County, Kenya went to Russia looking for a better life. He had previously worked in Qatar. In Russia he was promised more. He enlisted. Two months after reaching the front line, he was dead.

He died in April 2026. Before leaving for the battlefield he sent his family a voice message: if anything happens to me, take care of my children. That recording is now the last thing his family has of him.

His relatives are now appealing to the Kenyan government, well-wishers, and relevant authorities to help repatriate his remains so he can be buried at home in Nyamira County.

Kenya ranks fourth on the list of Africans killed in Russia's army - making it one of the worst-affected countries on the African continent. The inability to bring bodies home is a pattern: governments and families repeatedly discover that Russia does nothing to send home bodies of men it has taken.

If you are a Kenyan - or any other national - who has been recruited into Russia's military: save your life until it's too late. Two months on the front line killed Japhet Mose. The odds won't improve. Take a safe route out with the "I Want to Live" project - read more details here.
