President Kenya William Ruto publicly apologized in Tanzania after the tension between neighboring countries.
Some Kenyans on social media are aimed at President of Tanzania Sulu Hasan himself after the recent detention and deportation of prominent East African activists.
Evil Monday deputies accused Kenyans of cyber -fads and disrespect for Tanzanian sovereignty and “intervened in internal affairs”.
Speaking at a national prayer breakfast on Wednesday, Ruto seemed to continue an olive branch for Tanzania.
“For our neighbors from Tanzania, if we somehow offended you, forgive us,” he said.
“If there is something that Kenyans did, this is not the case, we want to apologize,” the President added.
Ruto also apologized to the young Kenyans, known as Gen-Zs, who were critical of his administration after the deadly anti-tax protesters last June.
The president made a note in response to the call by visiting US preacher Ricky Allen Bolden, who called on the leaders to continue reconciliation.
The diplomatic line was caused by the deportation of activists who went to Tanzania to attend the trial of the opposition leader Tund Lis.
Among them were the Kenyan Boniface Mvangi and Atahaer’s Otuter from Uganda.
Both said they had been invalid for several days and were tortured before they left on the Tanzanian security forces, causing extensive condemnation across the region and from international rights.
Tanzania has not yet commented on the requirements of torture, but earlier the president himself warned that he would not allow activists from neighboring countries to “intervene” in his country’s affairs and call “chaos”.
Both Kenya and Ugandan have officially protested against the detention of activists, accusing the Tanzania of refusing consular access, despite repeated requests.
The alleged cruel treatment of the activists has caused an online war when social media users from Kenya and Tanzania have faced requirements.
In the hot discussion on Monday, the Tanzanian parliamentarian expressed outrage about the young Kenyans who are involved in the president.
Deputies said Samia had every right to defend the national interests of Tanzania.
The legislators’ comments were angry with some Kenyans who retreated, sharing the legislators and pouring their phones to express their displeasure.
Jesca Msambatavangu, deputy of Iring Tanzania Jesca, said most of the posts came via WhatsApp, causing her to temporarily disable the phone.
However, Msambatavangu welcomes the engagement, encouraging Kenyans on social media to “resist ideas”.
She asked the young Kenyans to create a WhatsApp group for further interaction and promised to include them in a live session on Saturday.
“Kenyans are our neighbors, our brothers, and we can’t ignore each other,” she added.
