The Embassy has provided a link on how Kenyans living in the listed Countries could register.

“Registration of Kenyans in Kuwait, Bahrain and Lebanon. We kindly request Kenyans residing in Kuwait, Bahrain and Lebanon to register with the Embassy/GoK using the link,” the Embassy said.

Ruto’s remarks on Iran attacks

The call by the Kenyan Embassy came moments after President William Ruto had strongly condemned the widening wave of strikes across the Middle East, warning that the growing regionalisation of the conflict poses a grave threat to international peace and security.

Taking to his official social media accounts on Monday, March 2, 2026, Ruto denounced attacks targeting several Gulf and regional states, including the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, Kuwait, Jordan, and Bahrain.

“Kenya strongly condemns the strikes on the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, Kuwait, Jordan, and Bahrain in the evolving conflict in the Middle East. It is evident that the regionalisation of this conflict poses a grave threat to international peace and security,” Ruto stated.

Call for multilateral engagement

Ruto emphasised the importance of established international institutions in navigating the crisis, arguing that longstanding multilateral frameworks remain indispensable in resolving escalating tensions.

“At this defining and perilous moment in global history, longstanding multilateral institutions remain indispensable frameworks for the resolution of the current crisis in the Middle East,” the statement read.

Kenya called for urgent multi-stakeholder engagement aimed at de-escalation, urging global powers and regional actors to prioritise diplomacy over further military confrontation.

“Kenya calls for urgent multi-stakeholder engagement towards de-escalation,” Ruto added.

More explosions have been heard across the Gulf states, and at least three people have been killed in the United Arab Emirates as Iran carries out attacks in retaliation for strikes by the United States and Israel that killed its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and other top officials.
