Nairobi, Kenya – The Kenyan government has announced plans to reopen the border with Somalia, which has been closed for some time. The reopening of the Mandera border, located in the eastern part of the country, was confirmed after a discussion between the leaders of the Kenyan and Somali governments.
Minister of Internal Affairs, Kithure Kindiki, emphasized the importance of reopening the border for trade between the two countries. He stated that he was preparing a plan that will regulate the illegal trade and deal with illegal weapons and drugs. He added that the new plan will also help control the movement of people and goods in the region to benefit the people of Mandera and Bula Haawo.
The Kenyan government has not yet announced a specific date for the reopening of the border, but it is expected to happen in the near future. The reopening of the border is expected to have a positive impact on the economic and social development of the region, as well as strengthen the relationship between the two countries.
