The Mungiki is mostly found in poor parts of Kenya, especially Nairobi, which is one of Kenya's largest cities.
The gang was formed during the 1980s and has since grown, but not much. The gang is known to work in “cells,” each of them consisting of about 50 members that get involved with racketeering.
The Mungiki are extremely against Christianity as well as any type of Westernization. The gang believes in forced female genital cutting, beheading, and mutilation.
As many as 50 people have been killed because of clashes with the Mungiki, two of these people being Kenyan police offers who were beheaded.
The gang is said to have some ties in the U.S., but this has never been concretely proven.
