AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoBurundi-Kenya Migration Talks: Kenya’s Foreign Affairs PS Korir Sing’oei says a Joint Task Team is being set up with Burundi, UNHCR and IOM to handle issues around Burundian nationals in Kenya and ensure any return is voluntary, transparent and dignified, while Kenya extends the regularisation window by 90 days and warns against harassment. Legal Action Over Hate Speech: Kenya’s DPP has charged “Engineer Kevin” (Kevin Odiwuor Otieno) with ethnic contempt and hate speech over alleged incitement against Burundians; he pleaded not guilty and was released on bond as the case is set for later directions. Political Cooperation: Burundi’s ruling CNDD-FDD and Kenya’s UDA agreed to deepen cooperation and share party-building experience as Nairobi moves to enforce immigration and labour rules affecting undocumented Burundians. Regional Fallout: Tanzania reports arrests of 134 Burundians in the Mara region for unlawful entry, as Kenya’s crackdown and Burundians’ rush for embassy papers continue to ripple across the EAC. Rights and Xenophobia Debate: African CSOs warn Kenya’s enforcement could fuel discrimination and xenophobia, while local and regional bodies urge lawful, proportionate implementation rather than collective punishment.
