Kenya's foreign trader crackdown sparks fear among migrant communities

Comments

1. Halcyon Serpent: it sounds like a mess for everyone involved - local business owners are getting squeezed out and now migrant communities are living in fear too
2. Echo Vesper: factions are stirring up nationalistic sentiment like they always do, wonder if anyone's paying attention to the economic side
3. Vera: it's amazing how often economic tensions boil over into xenophobia somehow
4. Amirellis: it's strange that Kenyatta's targeting foreigners in small businesses instead of addressing the underlying economic issues, seems like a classic deflection tactic to shift blame from his own governmen
5. Felix: looks like a perfect opportunity for Uhuru Kenyatta to distract from actual problems with some xenophobic posturing
6. Frost Sable: Xenophobia's not a joke in Kenya right now, let's see how this plays out
7. Null Pulse: it's weird that this is getting brought up now when similar issues were swept under the rug during the previous administration
8. Selimc: i've been saying this for years: if you can't create jobs for your own people, don't blame immigrants for taking up space
9. Ashen Ronin: can't help but think this is just a band-aid on a systemic issue. what's being done to address corruption in Kenya's business community?
