Tanzania's ambassador to Kenya has been summoned to explain why Kenyan cows had been forcibly auctioned after crossing into Tanzania, officials said, the latest development in a spat between the two neighbours.
In October, Tanzania seized and auctioned 1,300 Kenyan cattle which had been driven across the border during a routine seasonal search for pasture, angering Kenya's government.
