President of Kenya William Ruto apologized to neighboring Tanzania for tension in connection with the detention and deportation of Kenyan politicians.
Speaking at the 22nd National Breakfast in the Nyrobi capital, Ruto confirmed Kenya’s commitment to regional cooperation and peaceful good neighborly relations.
After the detention and deportation of some Kenyan politicians and activists who arrived in Tanzania to participate in the trial of the tunda to Liss, the leader of the main opposition party of democracy and development (Chardema) in Tanzania on charges of treason and inciting people to the riots, Ruto said: I turn to our neighbor Tanzania: excuse us, if we excuse us, if we are sorry for you. They offended something. “
Ruto sent a message with an apology to the people of Uganda and Youth Kenya: “Our friends in Uganda, if we did something wrong like Kenyt, we ask for forgiveness. I also turn to our children: sorry if we made a mistake.”
Ruto statements are considered as an attempt to mitigate regional relations and strengthen diplomatic relations in the face of internal and external pressure.
Former member of the National Assembly of Kenya Marta Karua, former chairman of the high court, Kenya Willy Mutung and some human rights activists were detained and deported by security forces when they arrived in Tanzania to follow the fox business.
Mutung and his environment were detained for a short period of time. The Kenyan government made an official attempt to release the delegation.
The Tanzania administration said that such incidents should be considered in the framework of the rights of sovereignty. These events caused diplomatic tension between the two countries.
