Kenya’s President William Ruto has apologized to Tanzania amid escalating tensions following the detention and deportation of activists. Ruto’s remarks, made during a national prayer breakfast, aimed to mend relations after Kenyans targeted Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan on social media, prompting accusations of cyberbullying from Tanzanian MPs. The diplomatic row was intensified by claims of mistreatment of the activists, leading to protests from Kenya and Uganda, while Tanzanian officials defended their sovereignty and encouraged dialogue with young Kenyans.
