QatarKenya has introduced a temporary amnesty for undocumented East African migrants following a surge of Burundians seeking travel documents to return home. This comes after Kenyan President William Ruto's government ordered the closure of small businesses operated by foreigners without proper permits, leading to unrest and reports of harassment against Burundian migrants. In response to the chaos, the Kenyan government urged undocumented migrants, particularly from Burundi, to register at embassies, offering them a period of legal presence in the country. Officials emphasized that no one should face discrimination or harassment, and the junior foreign minister apologized to Burundians while pledging protection and assistance. Critics argue that Ruto's rhetoric may be politically motivated ahead of upcoming elections.
