The Mara Regional Immigration Office in Tanzania has arrested 134 Burundian citizens in a special operation conducted across various parts of the region, according to Daily News. The operation targets immigrants residing in the country in violation of immigration laws and regulations, particularly those who entered unlawfully. The arrests took place in Musoma and surrounding areas as authorities continue enforcement efforts against irregular migration in the border region near Burundi.

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.

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.

Several foreign nationals, including Ugandans, Burundians, Rwandans, Congolese and Sudanese, have been arriving in the Kenyan border towns of Busia and Malaba, according to NTV Uganda. The arrivals come as Kenya intensifies a crackdown on foreign nationals. The report, published on 8 September 2026, does not specify how many people have crossed or what prompted the Kenyan operation, but it indicates movement of multiple nationalities toward the border area.

Police in Nairobi have arrested a man accused of making inciteful remarks targeting Burundians living in Kenya, according to the Eastleigh Voice. The arrest comes as the Kenyan government prepares to register and document undocumented Burundians and other East African Community nationals residing in the country. Officials say the process is intended to give those without proper documentation an opportunity to formalise their status and establish their legal position in Kenya.

Kenya has announced a temporary amnesty for undocumented East Africans living in the country, according to TimesLIVE. Despite assurances from authorities, Burundian refugees say they feel compelled to leave Kenya. The amnesty is intended to give undocumented nationals from East African countries an opportunity to regularise their status, but the report indicates that some refugee communities remain anxious about their situation and are choosing to depart rather than remain in the country.
