肯尼亚政府周二宣布，在该国经营业务的外国人必须在90天内获取或更新工作许可证和营业执照等必需文件1。这一举措源于总统威廉·鲁托上周关于外资企业的言论，他表示接到小商户投诉，称外国人与他们形成不公平竞争1。政府官员强调此举旨在确保法律合规并保护外国商人的安全1。
鲁托总统已指示议员扩展现有议案，内容包括外国人在小商业中的公平参与以及为当地人保留的部门1。这些言论引发了移民社区的担忧，部分布隆迪商人甚至考虑离开肯尼亚1。布隆迪商人埃里克·穆纳亚约报告称其位于内罗毕郊区的店铺遭到身份不明人士的袭击1。布隆迪外交部长爱德华·比齐马纳随后在推特上发出警告，称"肯尼亚人在布隆迪生活安全，但如果针对布隆迪的仇恨言论继续，事情肯定会改变"1。周一，数百名布隆迪国民前往内罗毕大使馆获取相关文件1。
Kenya's government has mandated that foreign nationals operating businesses in the country obtain or renew work permits and business licenses within 90 days 1. The directive follows remarks by President William Ruto, who last week received complaints from local traders alleging unfair competition from foreign-owned enterprises 1.
The government's move is intended to ensure legal compliance and protect foreign business operators' safety 1. However, the president's comments have triggered alarm among immigrant communities, with some Burundian merchants considering departure from Kenya 1. Burundi's Foreign Minister Edouard Bizimana warned on social media that while Kenyans live peacefully in Burundi, the situation could change if hate speech targeting Burundians continues 1. Following the president's remarks, hundreds of Burundian nationals visited Nairobi's embassy to obtain documents on Monday 1.
The tension has already manifested in incidents on the ground. Eric Munahayo, a Burundian businessman, reported that his shop in Nairobi's suburbs was attacked by unidentified individuals 1. President Ruto has instructed lawmakers to expand an existing bill to address fair participation of foreign nationals in small-scale commerce and sectors designated for local businesses 1.
