Kenya crackdown on foreign traders sparks migrant fear

Kenya’s president ordered a crackdown on foreigners operating small businesses, triggering fear among Burundian and other migrant traders who have rushed to embassies or borders to leave or register; a 90-day window was introduced for undocumented foreign nationals to comply, and some families report disruption as spouses depart, prompting concerns that the move could fuel xenophobia and harm the economy, though officials say it aims to protect Kenyan jobs and regional ties.
