Burundi nationals are waiting outside their country's embassy in Kenya to receive free travel documents to return home
Hundreds of Burundians in Kenya are scrambling to process travel documents to leave the country ahead of the crackdown on unlicensed small businesses run by migrants.
Kenyan President William Ruto set Monday as the deadline for foreigners operating small-scale businesses to cease work, after the trade ministry said some exploited visa rules to work without the required permits.
He argued that investors should create jobs and expand production rather than compete with Kenyans in small businesses.
