@babatreva1: NOT SOUTH AFRICANS: Kenyans Protest Against Ruto’s Xenophobia SA Pulse: Voices from the New South Africa” South Africa #Kenya #WilliamRuto #Ruto President William Ruto’s crackdown on foreign traders is triggering a growing backlash in Kenya. As reports of harassment, intimidation and attacks against foreign nationals continue to emerge, sections of Kenyan youth and civil society are now pushing back, warning against xenophobia and demanding that the government stop the situation from escalating. The controversy has also become political, with critics accusing Ruto of using the foreign-trader issue to appeal to Kenyan voters ahead of the 2027 elections. Meanwhile, Kenyan authorities say the crackdown is about immigration, work permits and protecting local businesses — not attacking foreigners. Police have also begun taking action against people accused of inciting hostility toward foreign nationals. With protests looming and tensions rising, one question remains: Is Kenya protecting its local economy — or is Ruto’s policy opening the door to xenophobia? 🔥 HASHTAGS #Kenya #WilliamRuto
