Burundians Rush to Leave Kenya Ahead of Crackdown on Unregistered Traders The Kenyan government's directive to cease operations of unlicensed small businesses run by foreigners has sent shockwaves through East Africa.

The move follows a similar crackdown in Tanzania last year and comes amid rising anti migrant sentiment in South Africa.
