A visit to the Tarakea border post between Tanzania and
Kenya was carried out on 8 January 2015 by IOM-ACBC officials in order
fact-find and assess the border management needs of Tanzania along the Namanga
– Tanga axis.
The border from Namanga to Tanga, on the coast, is the only
part of the Tanzanian border which has not yet received IOM border management
assistance and the Tarakea border was identified as a possible staging area for
migrant smuggling from Kenya into Tanzania.
The Tarakea border post is located at coordinates 2°59'28.5"S
37°34'05.1"E and is a small-sized border crossing on the northern side of
Mt. Kilimanjaro.
