Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The Kenya Police Service has on Wednesday, November 3, warned Kenyans to be on high alert following the unrest in Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued to the media by Police Spokesperson, Bruno Shioso, stated that the government had noted with concern recent unfolding events that may disturb the peace and stability in neighbouring countries<\/p>\n

He further indicated that current unrest in the country could spill over to Kenya.<\/p>\n

“As an immediate neighbour to some of the affected countries, Kenya may be adversely impacted on by the consequences of the events,” the statement read in part.<\/p>\n

In line with this, the police cautioned Kenyan citizens to exercise vigilance and practise caution in their surroundings.<\/p>\n

Shioso urged citizens to immediately report suspected cases of undocumented aliens and unprocessed immigrants to the nearest police station.<\/p>\n

The Police stated that there will be heightened security and vigilance along the borders and other critical areas.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Ethiopia, the government declared a state of emergency on November 2. The declaration was informed by the need to secure Addis Ababa after the Tigrayan fighters claimed that they had captured Dessie and Komblocha towns.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Uganda suffered two bombing attacks in the last ten days. The latest attack, where a bus was bombed in Lungala, along the Kampala-Masaka highway, came two days after a restaurant was bombed in Komamboga.<\/p>\n

On September 30, the government launched a crackdown for illegal immigrants following an outburst over a number of foreigners spotted in several residential estates. Together with immigration officers, they raided some of the estates including Waiyaki Real Gardens, where they fished out undocumented foreigners.<\/p>\n

The Interior Permanent Secretary (PS), Karanja Kibicho, explained that the majority of the travelers originated from Pakistan and have valid Transit Visas to Saudi Arabia that are issued on arrival.<\/p>\n

While admitting that Kenya has registered an influx in the number of Asian nationals transiting, Kibicho stated that the government, going forward, would restrict the number of foreigners transiting through the country.<\/p>\n
