Pemba ethnic group recognised in Kenya

The community will now get full citizenship rights.

Kenya鈥檚 government has officially recognized the stateless Pemba community as an ethnic group. The more than 8,000 community members - who have settled in Kenya鈥檚 coastal counties of Kwale, Kilifi, Mombasa and Lamu - have been stateless for decades.

It is estimated that nearly one million people attended a mass service in Kinshasa on the second day of Pope Francis鈥檚 visit to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
