21 Ethiopian refugees in Kenya are reportedly on a hunger strike, and the government has said it is working to return the refugees to their country of origin.
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ,Ambassador Alem Alem gave reporters an explanation of the political and diplomatic steps the government had taken.
Kenya is one of the nations that wants Ethiopia to settle permanently on its soil, according to a statement from Ambassador Alem. He continued by saying that illegal immigrants can enter Kenya in a number of ways.
While it is impossible to enter any country without a valid travel document, Ethiopian refugees detained in Kenya will be allowed to leave without being harassed. It’s widely known.
The ambassador’s query was answered by the 21 illegal Ethiopian immigrants who are currently fasting in a Kenyan jail: “They will be returned to the country in a normal manner,” he said.
Despite the country’s efforts to repatriate refugees, he continued, the task is made difficult by citizens who frequently travel illegally.
