A day after Ethiopian helicopters bombed a Kenyan post by mistake, Raphael Tuju, the Kenyan Foreign Minister, said that the border was closed because of insecurity.
Police prevented aid workers from getting to refugee reception centres and forcefully escorted at least 700 people in northern and coastal regions back over the border, drawing a protest from the UN refugee agency.
In Geneva, António Guterres, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, reminded Nairobi that it had an obligation under international law to protect civilians. “Kenya also has a humanitarian obligation to allow civilians at risk to seek asylum on its territory,” he said. (AFP)
