Taliban (gang)

The Taliban is a Kenyan criminal organization that has no connection to the Afghan Taliban other than its name. They belong to the Luo tribe and feel allegiance to Luo leader and multiple Kenyan presidential candidate Raila Odinga. Their leader is Joash Oluande, a born-again Christian. They recruit primarily from Mathare, Huruma, Baba Dogo, Kariobangi North and Kariobangi South quarters, slums of Nairobi. Their main opponents are the Mungiki of the Kikuyu tribe.
