Several videos have surfaced on social media showing Kenyan women protesting outside the Kenyan consulate in Beirut urging the government to bring them home.
Kenya’s Embassy in Kuwait, which is accredited to Lebanon, said the employment and immigration status of the protesters in Beirut is “unknown” and they have to apply for proper documentation.
Kenyans stranded in Lebanon will have to wait until their immigration status is determined, Kenyan officials said Wednesday.
Some Kenyans in Lebanon, who lost their jobs following the massive explosion in Beirut last week that killed over 100 people and left 300,000 people homeless, have been calling on the Kenyan government to fly them home.
