More than 50 Kenyan students and scholars at Harvard University can now breathe a sigh of relief after a US court halted a directive that would have forced them out of the institution.

The ruling followed the Trump administration's move to revoke Harvard's authority to enroll non-American learners through the Student and Exchange Visitor Programme (SEVP).
