AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Kenya Crackdown on Foreign Traders: Kenya has given foreigners running businesses 90 days to regularise work permits and business licenses after President William Ruto’s remarks sparked panic among Burundians and other East Africans; State House says the process will be coordinated with embassies and warns against threats or vigilantism. Burundians Rush for Documents: Hundreds of Burundians queued at the Burundi embassy in Nairobi for emergency travel papers and registration, with some reportedly preparing to leave for Uganda as enforcement fears grow. Legal Pushback in Court: A lawyer has moved to Kenya’s High Court seeking to stop the government from enforcing the presidential directive against small-scale traders, arguing it could lead to closures, confiscations, evictions and arrests. Hate Speech Case: Kenya’s DCI arrested a 32-year-old man over alleged remarks inciting ethnic hatred and violence against Burundians, with possible hate-speech charges pending in court. Community Fallout: Videos show Burundian traders facing hostility, including a Roysambu fried-chicken looting clip and reports of robberies leaving hawkers penniless. Arts & Culture: Burundian musician Kidum offered his van to help Burundians return home amid the crackdown. Sports (CAF): Aigle Noir (Burundi) lost 0-2 to Al Hilal in the CAF Champions League preliminary round first leg.
