The Kenyan government did not even try to hide why the country extradited four Turkish asylum seekers to Ankara in violation of international refugee law. “As you know, Turkey is a big player in the region,” Foreign Ministry Permanent Secretary Korir Sing’oei said at a news conference in Nairobi on Friday. “It’s active in Somalia, it’s active in Ethiopia, it’s active everywhere in our neighborhood. Kenya‘s national interests had to be taken into consideration.” Turkey accused the country of “providing refuge to subversive elements”.
