Kenya's government announced a temporary amnesty for undocumented East African traders amid a directive to shut down small businesses run by foreigners without work permits. This move followed concerns of a crackdown after protests by local traders and has sparked hundreds of Burundians seeking travel documents at their embassy in Nairobi.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a narrow window to help East African traders caught without documents. This amnesty opens a chance to secure their status legally before the crackdown tightens and could reshape customer bases and local market competition.
