Kenya Offers Amnesty for Undocumented Migrants After Burundians Rush to Leave
Government spokesman calls on undocumented nationals from other East African countries to register at embassies, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
Kenya has offered an amnesty for undocumented migrants after a rush of Burundian nationals sought to leave the country, according to a report published by Al Jazeera on September 8, 2026.
A government spokesman urged undocumented nationals from other East African countries residing in Kenya to formally register at their respective embassies, the report said.
Al Jazeera's report did not provide further details on the specific reasons behind the surge in Burundians seeking to depart Kenya, nor did it specify the duration or full terms of the amnesty being offered.
The call for formal registration appears aimed at regularizing the status of undocumented migrants from the East African region who are currently living in Kenya, according to the government spokesman cited in the report.
Further details regarding the scope of the amnesty program and its implementation were not immediately available.
