Kenya's Crackdown on Foreign Workers Raises Concern Among Burundians

Kenya's crackdown on foreign workers is raising concern among the roughly 16,000 Burundian refugees and asylum seekers living in the country, France 24 reported.

Many Burundians, who work informally as carpenters, motorcycle taxi drivers or clothing vendors, have been afraid to go to work since Monday, and some are considering leaving the country, following remarks by Kenya's president that sparked concern within the community, according to the report.
