Outside the Burundian embassy in Nairobi, thousands of migrants wait for days with their belongings after a Kenyan government directive tells them to get documented or go home. Many say they no longer feel safe in their estates and lack money for the journey back. President William Ruto’s recent remarks about foreigners taking local jobs stir anxiety among small traders, despite official assurances that regional rules still apply.
