Kenya promised to keep using peaceful talks after Tanzania sent home several activists and lawyers from the country. Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi noticed how angry people became about the whole situation on Thursday. Kenyan visitors had traveled to Dar es Salaam wanting to watch court hearings for opposition leader Tundu Lissu. Tanzania refused them entry and forced them to return home immediately. The incident made many citizens upset about how their neighbors treated fellow Kenyans.
Activist Boniface Mwangi faced the worst treatment during his time away from home. Tanzanian officials held him against his will and hurt him physically before driving him back across the border. They left him at Ukunda in Kwale County after days of detention. Mudavadi spoke directly with Tanzanian leaders to fix the problem between the two countries. He stressed that Kenya protects all citizens, no matter where they go around the world.
The foreign affairs leader reminded everyone that Tanzania buys many Kenyan products each year. Trade between both nations reached 125 billion shillings during 2024 alone. Thanks to opportunities across the border, around 250,000 Kenyans earn money and send their children to school. Strong friendships between neighboring countries help everyone prosper and stay safe.
