Kenyan Government: Dadaab and Kenya Government

kenyan government: Kenya government announced in May that Dadaab, with more than 280,000 residents, will be closed at the end of this month, saying the camp was creating security problems, according to Metro News. The Kenyan government is forcing Dadaab residents to go back to Somalia without adequate support, Amnesty said in its report. Some who voluntarily returned to Somalia from Dadaab camp told The Associated Press they are now facing hunger despite promises that they would be assisted. Its researchers visited Dadaab in August, where they interviewed 56 refugees individually and held group discussions. Kenyan government officials are telling them they must leave by the end of the month November or they will be forced to leave without any assistance, said Michelle Kagari, Amnesty International deputy director for East Africa, the Horn and the Great Lakes. The refugees are caught between a rock and a hard place. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
