Tuko reports that a Burundian man who has lived in Kenya for 10 years broke down after his shop was allegedly looted overnight, wiping out stock he said took a decade to build. In a video cited by the outlet, he says “Mmeniharibia maisha,” expressing that his life has been destroyed. The blurb does not provide the shop’s location, the value of losses, possible suspects, or details of any police investigation.

Burundian nationals living in Kenya are reportedly rushing to leave the country ahead of an anticipated government crackdown on foreign traders, according to the Sowetan. The reported exodus follows a call by Kenya's president for authorities to shut down all small-scale businesses operated by foreigners who lack valid permits. The directive targets unpermitted foreign-owned enterprises, and its announcement has heightened anxiety among immigrant trading communities, prompting many Burundians to prepare for departure before enforcement begins.

Hundreds of Burundians queued outside their embassy in Nairobi on Monday seeking travel documents to return home, following President William Ruto's order for a crackdown on small-scale foreign traders in Kenya. According to Khusoko, most of those in line were young men, some carrying suitcases or a single bag of belongings. The development signals rising pressure on foreign traders operating in the country and prompted many Burundian nationals to prepare for departure.

Kenya’s government has apologised to Burundian nationals over harassment linked to confusion surrounding a crackdown on unlicensed foreign traders, according to Capital FM. The statement, reported from Nairobi on September 7, said authorities would tighten security for immigrants as enforcement continues. The report frames the apology as an effort to reassure Burundians while maintaining measures against unlicensed trading.

Police in Nairobi have arrested a 32-year-old man over remarks allegedly inciting ethnic hatred, hostility and violence against Burundian nationals, according to Capital FM. The arrest came a day after the Kenyan government issued an apology, reportedly linked to the same tensions. Detectives said the suspect is accused of making statements targeting Burundians, though details of the remarks were not disclosed. The case highlights official efforts to curb hate speech and protect foreign nationals in Kenya.

According to Tuko, hundreds of Burundians and other foreign nationals gathered at Nairobi’s Country Bus Station and left for Uganda as Kenyan authorities intensified a crackdown linked to President William Ruto on illegal immigrants and unpermitted businesses. The report describes crowded departures and heightened fear among affected communities, but provides no casualty figures or official government statement confirming the scale of enforcement.
