Thursday 29,May 2025 {CBB}\u00a0 <\/strong>Kenya\u2019s President William Ruto has publicly apologised to Tanzania following days of tension between the neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n

Some Kenyans on social media have been targeting Tanzania\u2019s President Samia Suluhu Hassan following the recent detention and deportation of prominent East African activists.<\/p>\n

Angry Tanzanian MPs on Monday accused Kenyans of cyberbullying and disrespecting Tanzanian sovereignty and \u201cmeddling in domestic affairs\u201d.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a national prayer breakfast on Wednesday, Ruto appeared to extend an olive branch to Tanzania.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo our neighbours from Tanzania, if we have wronged you in any way, forgive us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there is anything that Kenyans have done that is not right, we want to apologise,\u201d the president added.<\/p>\n

Ruto also apologised to young Kenyans, popularly known as Gen-Zs, who have been critical of his administration since the deadly anti-tax protesters last June.<\/p>\n

Some of them have dismissed Ruto\u2019s apology, insisting that the president should resign.<\/p>\n
