Kenyan President William Ruto has issued an apology to Tanzania following a diplomatic rift caused by the arrest and deportation of East African activists, including Kenya’s Boniface Mwangi and Uganda’s Agather Atuhaire, who reported being tortured while in Tanzanian custody.<\/p>\n
The incident triggered anger among Tanzanian lawmakers, who condemned online harassment from Kenyan social media users directed at President Samia Suluhu Hassan, calling it a violation of Tanzania\u2019s sovereignty. In response, Ruto sought to ease tensions by apologizing and acknowledging any offenses committed by Kenyans.<\/p>\n
He also extended an apology to Kenya\u2019s Gen-Z population, who have been vocal critics of his leadership, particularly in the aftermath of deadly anti-tax protests in June 2024. Ruto\u2019s remarks followed a call for reconciliation by U.S. preacher Rickey Allen Bolden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
