So far, there is no official news from the Kenyan government saying that it has stopped entering the country with a Somali passport, but this issue has been widely felt in recent weeks.

The leaders of Somalia and Kenya, who held talks in Nairobi in early September of this year, agreed to ease the drug trade miraa between the two countries, which was part of the agreement to allow the Kenyan Airline to Somalia.
However, Kenya has not implemented even one clause of the agreement, and it is clear that once again the leaders of Somalia have signed false agreements that only benefit Kenya Miraa Khat drug trade with Somalia’s president Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud, family and with cronies.
