NAIROBI, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- Kenyan police on Thursday interrogated 29 Ethiopians after being arrested in a security operation at Ruaraka's residential estate in Nairobi. Police and immigration officials have decried increased cases in which Ethiopians are nabbed in the country while on transit to either Tanzania or South Africa. On several occasions, Ethiopian illegal immigrants have been discovered locked up in congested rooms in Kenyan towns and cities but the trade continues to thrive even as many were repatriated. The Kenyan authorities have blamed the vastness of the region for the runaway of the 29 foreigners into Kenya through Moyale on Kenya-Ethiopia bordersMboloi said the driver of the lorry was also arrested in the operation. It is not clear when they left the Moyale border and how they managed to evade many roadblocks on the way.
