Somalia on Wednesday criticised neighbouring Kenya for deporting two Somali lawmakers and a minister after authorities in Nairobi blocked them from entering the country.
Senators Ilyas Ali and Zamzam Dahir and Minister Osman Liban arrived at Kenya’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Monday and were forced to spend hours there before being returned to Somalia on Tuesday.
In a letter on Wednesday, Somalia’s ministry of foreign affairs protested their detention and deportation.
It added that the actions risked hurting relations between the two and asked Kenya “to consider the potentially destabilising impact of these actions and to uphold … diplomatic norms in the spirit of reciprocity and mutual respect”.
