Nchini Kenya, shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto (UNICEF) na wadau wengine wanafanikisha mpango wa kuhamasisha wasichana kuingia katika masomo ya STEM yaani Sayansi, Teknolojia, Uhandisi na Hisabati. Baadhi ya wasichana wakimbizi katika kambi ya Dadaab nchini Kenya ni wanufaika wa mpango huu. Sharon Jebiichi na maelezo zaidi.Zamzam Hussein,aliyekuwa mwanafunzi wa shule ya sekondari ya Hagadera. Ni mkimbizi mwenye asili ya Somalia na sasa anaishi katika kambi ya wakimbizi ya Daadab nchini Kenya akiwa na ndoto ya kuwa daktari. Kupitia mpango huu ambao ni sehemu ya programu ya PROSPECTS ambao ni ushirikiano wa kimataifa unaojumuisha mashirika kadhaa ya Umoja wa Mataifa ukilenga kuboresha upatikanaji wa elimu, ulinzi wa jamii, na ajira yenye hadhi kwa jamii zinazowakaribisha wakimbizi na watu waliolazimika kuhama makazi yao Zamzam Hussein ameweza kukumbatia sayansi.“Nilikuwa mwanafunzi wa shule ya sekondari ya Hagadera na nikamaliza elimu yangu mwaka wa 2024. Nilijiunga na shule hiyo Agosti 2021. Nilichopenda zaidi nikiwa shuleni ni maktaba, maabara ya sayansi na maabara ya kompyuta. Napenda kuwashauri wasichana wadogo wanaosoma shuleni  na walio wakimbizi wafanye kazi kwa bidii bila kujali changamoto wanazokabiliana nazo. Watatimiza ndoto zao na waweze kufanikiwa katika siku za usoni. Nataka kuwa daktari kwa sababu nilipokuwa shule ya upili nilijifunza mambo mengi kuhusiana na matibabu. Ningependa kuwashukuru wafadhili wetu kwa sababu bila wao nisingekuwa hapa.”Mpango huu wa STEM umetoa msaada wa rasilimali kama vile kuajiri walimu zaidi wa sayansi, kutoa mafunzo kwa walimu, kutoa vifaa vya sayansi kwa ajili ya maabara ya shule na kuanzisha programu ya maabara ya mtandaoni (virtual lab) ambapo wanafunzi wanaweza kufanya majaribio ya sayansi  kwenye mtandao wa intaneti. Kupitia video iliyorekodiwa na UNICEF, Patrick Njogu, Mwalimu Mkuu wa shule  ya Sekondari ya Hagadera anasema,“Nimemfundisha Zamzam na wasichana wengine ili waweze kutimiza ndoto na malengo yao. Wasichana wamekuwa wakikabiliana na changamoto kama vile ndoa za mapema. UNICEF imekuwa ya manufaa zaidi kwao. Kwa sasa walimu wawili zaidi wa sayansi  wameajiriwa. Mbali na hayo imekuwa ikiendesha mafunzo ya walimu, imetoa vifaa vya sayansi kwa ajili ya maabara ya shule na kuanzisha  programu ya maabara ya mtandaoni (virtual lab). Programu hii ya mtandao (virtual lab) imetengeneza  uhusiano nzuri wa wanafunzi katika masomo ya sayansi.”

Environments associated with migration are often seen as provisional, lacking both history and architecture. As Anooradha Iyer Siddiqi demonstrates in Architecture of Migration: The Dadaab Refugee Camps and Humanitarian Settlement (Duke UP, 2023), a refugee camp's aesthetic and material landscapes—even if born out of emergency—reveal histories, futures, politics, and rhetorics. She identifies forces of colonial and humanitarian settlement, tracing spatial and racial politics in the Dadaab refugee camps established in 1991 on the Kenya-Somalia border—at once a dense setting that manifests decades of architectural, planning, and design initiatives and a much older constructed environment that reflects its own ways of knowing. She moves beyond ahistorical representations of camps and their inhabitants by constructing a material and visual archive of Dadaab, finding long migratory traditions in the architecture, spatial practices, landscapes, and iconography of refugees and humanitarians. Countering conceptualizations of refugee camps as sites of border transgression, criminality, and placelessness, Siddiqi instead theorizes them as complex settlements, ecologies, and material archives created through histories of partition, sedentarization, domesticity, and migration. This interview was conducted by Dr. Hannah Pool, whose research focuses on human mobilities. She is a senior researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Studies of Societies.

Dadaab ist eine Ortschaft in Kenia, etwa 100 Kilometer entfernt von der Grenze zu Somalia. Dadaab gilt als eines der größten UNO-Flüchtlingslager der Welt: Mehr als 380.000 Menschen leben hier - mehr als die Hälfte von ihnen ist unter 17 Jahren alt. Mit unserer Afrikakorrespondentin Antje Diekhans gehen wir heute in das Flüchtlings-Camp des UNHCR in die Schulen dort. Hier sollen Kinder lernen, einmal ein Leben zu führen in Frieden und Sicherheit, eines, in dem man abends nicht hungrig ins Bett geht. In dem man eine Zukunft hat, die man gestalten kann. // Autorin: Antje Diekhans // Moderationi: Susi Weichselbaumer

A project to turn Kenya's refugee camps - some of the largest in the world - into self-reliant communities where refugees can live, work, and set up businesses among their local hosts was recently launched. Host Obi Anyadike asks Victor Nyamori, a researcher and adviser for Refugee and Migrants' Rights at Amnesty International, what he thinks of this idea, dubbed the Shirika Plan. Given his work on legal protection for Kenya's refugees in Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps, is he optimistic that it will improve their lives?   What's Unsaid is a bi-weekly podcast by The New Humanitarian where we explore open secrets and uncomfortable conversations around the world's conflicts and disasters.

It's hard to live in today's world without seeing the tension between lives of luxury and so many people going without even basic human needs. It provokes questions of what is fair, right, and conscionable–  and the role of business in  creating this problem. It would be naive to assume that this tension could be simply resolved. But what if one could serve the other, so that luxury items provide for the basic needs of others creating a halo effect for the things people want and critical support for those going without. Stacey Boyd is the Founder & CEO of Olivela, an online luxury retail platform with a philanthropic business model that makes giving back part of every transaction. In this episode, she explains how what consumers want for themselves can drive impact at scale for others, and how today's top luxury brands are showing up to answer new stakeholder expectations and drive business success through positive impact. Lead With We is Produced by Goal 17 Media - https://goal17media.com Stacey Boyd:  Entrepreneur Stacey Boyd founded Olivela, a luxury retailer with doing good built into every transaction in 2019. The idea came to her after a trip with Malala Yousafzai to the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya, where she met girls who were risking their lives for the opportunity to get an education. Upon her return, she met with many of the world's finest luxury brands and explored the creation of a site harnessing their artistry and craftsmanship and our collective purchasing power to support girls' education internationally. Over 400 luxury brands are now a part of Olivela. Twenty percent of every purchase made on the site goes toward cause partners that work towards gender equality, climate action, and health & wellness– making sure help is extended to those most at risk across the globe. Boyd earned her MBA and Masters in Public Policy from Harvard and is currently an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Harvard Business School. Boyd has launched a number of successful ventures including the Academy of Pacific Rim, Project Achieve and Schoola, an online retailer that sells gently-worn clothing to support schools in need. She serves on the National Council on Teacher Quality, advises PBS on educational programming, and was named one of World Economic Forum's 100 Global Leaders of Tomorrow.

Zum ersten Mal seit fünf Jahren treffen sich Regierungsvertreter aus China und Deutschland wieder zu Regierungskonsultationen. Unter dem Motto "Gemeinsam nachhaltig handeln" werden sie über Sicherheitsfragen, Wirtschaft und Klimakooperation sprechen. Welche konkreten Entscheidungen zu erwarten sind, ob die Bundesregierung auch die Einhaltung der Menschenrechte thematisieren wird und wie wichtig China gute bilaterale Beziehungen zu Deutschland sind, weiß Anna Sauerbrey, außenpolitische Koordinatorin der ZEIT. Am Dienstag ist Weltflüchtlingstag. 100 Millionen Menschen sind derzeit auf der Flucht, laut UN-Flüchtlingshilfswerk mehr als je zuvor. Sarah Easter von der Hilfsorganisation CARE war bis vor wenigen Wochen im kenianischen Flüchtlingslager Dadaab, einem der größten der Welt. Im Podcast berichtet sie über die Situation der rund 400.000 Bewohner und Bewohnerinnen, ihre Fluchtgründe und ihre Hoffnungen. Außerdem spricht sie über die Rolle, die europäische Debatten im Lager spielen. Und sonst so?

Cholera deathtoll rises in Cameroon+++Kenya grapples with cholera outbreak at Daadab refugee camp+++South Africans blame government for cholera outbreak

Winnie grew up enjoying the simplicity of farm life in rural Kenya; not one for the business of the city, she found her peace among the crops at her grandmother's farm. As an adult, though, Winnie traded the serene country life for one of turmoil; but it is within that life that she found her center. Kakuma and Dadaab are two of the largest refugee camps in Kenya. In fact, Dadaab used to be the largest camp in the world. As a humanitarian aid worker in the camps, you live alongside those displaced and disavowed. Winnie's experience working in the camps are what she carries closest to her heart, they fuel her desire for justice and restoration.At the time of the recording, Winnie was the Program Director for Neema, a nonprofit dedicated to the holistic thriving of young, vulnerable women in western Kenya. You can read more about Neema here.Winnie is also a published author. While she dreams of publishing her novel one day, she contributed to a collection of short stories called Nairobi Noir. You can purchase Nairobi Noir here or wherever books are sold._______________________Follow The Human Experience on InstagramVisit The Human Experience websiteSend me an email at TheHXPod@gmail.com

Africa's larges refugee camp, Dadaab in Kenya, has seen it's numbers swell as people flee drought in the Horn of Africa. In London the UK Governnment has warned that driverless cars will add to traffic congestion, and in the Netherlands a new drive through has opened in Utrecht serving coffee and soft drugs.

‘Dadaab is a prison': Making a life in Africa's largest refugee camp. When Anab and Mark came to Dadaab as refugees fleeing conflict, they thought the camp would be a temporary shelter. Three decades on, they are now both raising their families in the camp with no hope of relocation and no home to return to. Thanks for listening. Let us know what you think. #TheComb Get in touch: thecomb@bbc.com Produced by Aisha Afrah

The Dadaab Refugee Complex in Kenya hosts about 310,000 refugees, most of whom are Somalis who have fled conflict and drought.  Dadaab has been around for about 30 years. And  over the decades, it has periodically experienced sharp influxes of people.  We are in the midst of one of those moments. In 2022, 51,000 people arrived and it is projected that in 2023 90,000 people will make their way from Somalia to Dadaab. This ballooning population is straining humanitarian agencies' ability to provide basic services to populations in need.  My guest today, Hassan Maiyaki is the country director for Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in Kenya. He describes a worsening humanitarian situation there, measured in part by a sharp rise in acute child malnutrition. We discuss why the situation is seemingly getting worse and what can be done to help provide for the basic needs of a rapidly expanding refugee population.

Key QuotesI realised that I had actually put aside my dream and so I rekindled it, and moved from my clinical practice to work for Kenya Red Cross. And I never looked back.My father was a mathematics teacher in the fifties, and my mother was an English teacher. And what they imparted in me was the importance of education.I derive great pleasure at seeing people just develop. Context is very important for leadership, and the way in which we respond to the world is largely influenced by our own perception of the world. I've always admired those kind of leaders that have clarity of thought, and clarity of action. Sometimes it's feast or famine. You have too much money within a short time when disasters occur. And then once the disasters disappear, you don't have any money.If I do my part and leave somebody feeling that it was useful for me to be in their lives then I think that's good enough.This series is kindly supported by Squadcast –the remote recording platform which empowers podcasters by capturing high-quality audio and video conversations.Read the transcription for this episode at our websiteConnect with Access to Inspiration on Twitter : Facebook : Instagram : LinkedIn : Read our Impact ReportSound Editor: Matias de Ezcurra (he/him).

Hii leo jaridani tuakuletea habari njema kuhusu afya na pia kuangazia jamii ya Benet nchini Uganda wakiwa bado hawana utaifa. Makala tunakwenda nchini Kenya na mashinani tunasalia huko huko Kenya, kulikoni?Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la afya ulimwenguni, WHO, limesema mataifa mengi zaidi duniani yametokomeza magonywa ya kitropiki yaliyosahaulika, au NTDs huku ikisema bado uwekezaji zaidi unahitajika kusongesha maendeleo hayo dhidi ya magonjwa hayo kama vile ukoma, vikope na kung'atwa na nyoka.Baada ya zaidi ya takriban miongo minane ya kutokuwa na utaifa, jamii ya watu wa asili ya Benet nchini Uganda inahaha kuishi, na kwa mujibu wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia wakimbizi UNHCR bila kuwa na nyaraka rasmi muhimu jamii hiyo haiwezi kupata huduma za msingi kama elimu na afya , na sasa jamii hiyo inaiomba serikali ya Uganda kumaliza zahma hiyo iliyowaghubika kwa miongo.Makala tunakupeleka Kenya ambako huko mwandishi wetu Thelma Mwadzaya anamulika faida ya kuwa na kiwanda cha kutengeneza chakula lishe au tiba lishe kwa ajli ya watoto wenye utapiamlo uliokithiri.Katika mashinani tutasalia huko huko nchini Kenya kusikia ni jinsi gani wakimbizi wa Dadaab na wenyeji wameendelea kusihi pamoja kwa amani.Mwenyeji wako ni Assumpta Massoi, karibu!

Au Kenya, le parcours est semé d'embûches pour les réfugiés. Le pays accueille plus de 500 000 déplacés, majoritairement originaires du Soudan du Sud et de la Somalie. La plupart vivent dans les camps de Kakuma et Dadaab, et dépendent largement de l'aide humanitaire. Des réfugiés qui ont aussi le plus grand mal à trouver un travail ou scolariser leurs enfants. Certains d'entre eux vont même s'établir dans la capitale kényane pour tenter de trouver de meilleures conditions de vie. Une ONG, GiveDirectly, a décidé d'appuyer ces réfugiés urbains en leur versant une somme d'argent… Les bénéficiaires n'ont pas à la rembourser et peuvent la dépenser comme ils le souhaitent en attendant que le Kenya leur ouvre de nouveaux droits.  De notre correspondante à Nairobi, Josephine a grandi dans le camp de Kakuma dans le nord du Kenya. Cette réfugiée sud-soudanaise a fui pour raisons sécuritaires alors qu'elle était enfant. La jeune femme de 28 ans habite désormais dans la capitale kényane et y a lancé un commerce de couture, depuis son petit appartement. Elle vend ses créations à des amis ou des connaissances. Dans sa cuisine, les tissus de différentes couleurs s'empilent. Son balcon a été transformé en atelier. « Ici, c'est mon bureau où j'ai ma machine à coudre. Je travaille sur une commande pour une famille de Kakuma qui part aux États-Unis. Je leur fabrique une housse de coussin, mais je peux aussi faire des vêtements en tissu ankara ou des écharpes en tie and dye, un motif obtenu avec de la teinture par nouage. » Une insertion économique compliquée Josephine a reçu 100 000 shillings kényans de l'ONG GiveDirectly, soit près de 800 euros. Elle a d'abord payé les soins médicaux de sa maman. Le reste, elle l'a utilisé pour développer son projet de couture, principalement acheter des tissus. La jeune Sud-Soudanaise a dû arrêter ses études en santé communautaire, par manque d'argent pour payer les frais de scolarité. En tant que réfugiée, l'insertion économique est pleine d'embuches. « C'est très difficile de trouver un emploi, on nous demande un permis de travail et, avec la carte de réfugié, je n'en ai pas », déplore Joséphine. « Le dernier emploi que j'ai eu, je n'étais pas payée comme les employés lambdas, je recevais juste une indemnisation. En tant que réfugié, nous ne pouvons pas non plus ouvrir de compte en banque. Pareil pour mpesa, la monnaie mobile, il faut demander à quelqu'un de nous ouvrir une ligne. » Des changements qui tardent à venir Une loi a été signée par l'ancien président Uhuru Kenyatta en novembre 2021 pour apporter plus de droits aux réfugiés, dont un meilleur accès à l'emploi. Mais pour les réfugiés, les changements tardent à arriver. « Il reste encore beaucoup à faire », explique Stephen Kalongo, le directeur Kenya de GiveDirectly. « Des discussions sont en cours pour répondre à plusieurs problématiques qui permettraient la mise en œuvre de cette loi. Par exemple : quand on parle d'intégration, comment faire reconnaître les diplômes que les réfugiés ont obtenus dans d'autres pays ? » En attendant, Josephine continue de développer son petit commerce de couture avec lequel elle fait vivre le reste de sa famille, restée au camp de Kakuma. Et elle rêve de faire venir sa petite sœur, encore adolescente, pour qu'elle étudie à Nairobi et quitte les classes surchargées du camp de réfugiés.

80,000 people flee Somalia for Kenya's Dadaab camps: UNHCR394 million people in Europe require rehabilitation care: WHODeveloping countries face ‘impossible trade-off' on debt: UNCTAD chief

Au menu de l'actualité :Au Kenya, la sécheresse et le conflit forcent 80.000 Somaliens à se réfugier dans le camp de Dadaab.Le chef des opérations de paix de l'ONU, Jean-Pierre Lacroix, a entamé hier une visite de deux jours au Mali.Plus d'une personne sur cinq ayant un emploi a été victime de violence et de harcèlement au travail indique l'Organisation internationale du Travail (OIT).

Mizozo na umaskini wa kupindukia kwenye mazingira ya uhitaji mkubwa wa msaada wa kibinadamu huwaweka wasichana katika hatari kubwa ya kukumbwa na ukatili na kunyanyaswa. Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kushughulikia masuala ya wanawake, UN WOMEN kwa kutambua hilo linatekeleza miradi katika kambi za wakimbizi za Dadaab na Kakuma nchini Kenya ili kuwajengea uwezo wasichana barubaru ili hatimaye waweza kuandaa mustakabali bora wa maisha yao. Girls Shine ni moja ya miradi hiyo kupitia mradi mkubwa wa LEAP unaoungwa mkono na serikali ya Japan tangu mwaka 2018. Wasichana wakimbizi na wenyeji wananufaika na mradi huu na sasa wanapaza sauti kama katika Makala hii iliyoandaliwa na UN Women barani Afrika na kusimuliwa na Thelma Mwadzaya.

Nchini Kenya shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa linalohusika na masuala ya wanawake, UN Women kwa ushirikiano na wadau wanajengea uwezo wajenzi wa amani mashinani hata kwenye maeneo yenye changamoto kama vile kambi ya wakimbizi ya Daadab kwenye kaunti ya Garissa nchini humo kwa lengo la kuepusha vijana kutumbukizwa kwenye vikundi vyenye msimamo mkali.  UN Women inafanya hivyo kupitia warsha inazoendesha kwa ushirikiano na mashirika ya kiraia ya wanawake kama vile WomanKind Kenya ambapo katika moja ya warsha huko kambini Daadab, Nimo Dubat, mwenyekiti wa chama cha wanawake wachuuzi sokoni anaelezea umuhimu wa warsha hizo akisema, “kwa upande wa usalama, wanawake na vijana ndio wanaweza kufuatilia, sisi ndio vijana tumezaa na tunajua ambaye anaanza kuleta shida nyingi. Katika watoto wetu, mama ndiye mzazi, mama ndiye anajua ambaye anaanza tabia mbaya. Mama ndiye anajua nani ameingia kwenye mtaa mgeni, na nani Jirani yake amepokea mgeni, hata tumetengeneza kikundi cha wanawake wa nyumba 10. Hata kuna wasichana wajumbe wa nyumba 10. Sasa tunataka tupatiwe nguvu, tushikamane na polisi kwenye ulinzi. Mama ndiye anabeba mzigo wa shida yote. NasibaAbdi Farah mkazi wa Daadab na mnufaika wa warsha hiyo iliyojumuisha wanaume na vijana wa kike na wa kiume, hakuficha hisia zake akisema kupitia mafunzo waliyopata akisema kuwa "yule kijana ambaye sitamuona nitauliza kwa wenzake ameenda wapi? Ameenda mpakani? Basi nitaenda kwa mama na kumuuliza mtoto wake ameenda kufanya nini mpakani? Akisema sijamuona? Namueleza tafuta kijana wako na umlete.” Warsha hii ilipatia fursa pia viongozi wa eneo la Daadab kushirkiana na mashirika yenye mtazamo sawa kupitisha na kuridhia na kuanza kutekeleza Mpango wa Utekelezaji wa Kaunti ya Garissa wa kuzuia na kukabiliana na misimamo mikali.

Our guest series "Building Solidarities," organized by Dr. Anooradha Iyer Siddiqi and students in the course "Colonial Practices," was originally staged as a series of discussions at Barnard College and Columbia University Institute of Comparative Literature and Society in the fall of 2020. The series was conceived as a form of mutual pedagogy between the campus and the public, through dialogues on urgent questions about constructed environments, urban life, and ecologies. This episode discussed environmental diasporas and ecological reclamation in the "Somalias" of Dadaab, Minneapolis, and Mogadishu.

Foreldrene kommer løpende med den illskrikende treåringen. Han hadde lekt alene i gresset. Ingen så hva som skjedde, men hodet har allerede hovnet kraftig opp. Vi befinner oss i flyktningleiren Dadaab i Kenya – en av verdens største flyktningleirer. Lege Øyunn Holen tror gutten kan være bitt av en slange. Nå teller hvert sekund for å få satt motgiften.Hver eneste dag dør 275 mennesker av slangebitt. De fattigste rammes hardest, men prisen på motgift er skyhøy. Hva kan gjøres? Øyunn har svar, og griper sjansen til å fortelle om noen andre glemte sykdommer og Dadaab i samme slengen.

Two of the world's largest refugee camps are now facing the prospect of closing down. The Kakuma and Dadaab camps in Kenya are home to 430,000 refugees, primarily from Somalia and South Sudan. Many of the refugees have lived there since the camps were established three decades ago. Over half of the refugee population are children, many of whom have never known life outside the camps. In March, the Kenyan government issued an ultimatum to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees to present a plan for closure of the two camps within two weeks or the Kenyan government would begin repatriating the refugees. UNHCR and the Kenyan government came to an agreement to close the camp by next June. Refugees who live in Kakuma are worried about the impending closure of the camp. Here's the story of Jelly Naomi, a mother of four, filmed by refugees who also live in Kakuma.

In late 1991, refugee camps were set up in Dadaab, Kenya. Today, the three camps located there make up the third-largest refugee complex in the world. For many, Dadaab is a long term home, and education is of course an important part of life both in the camp and once an individual leaves. But while the UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 recognizes the need for everyone to have access to education, questions still remain about how to convert that education into stable and durable futures.Today, Hassan Aden takes us into his research from Dadaab and launches a new animation made in collaboration with Hanna Ali and the PositiveNegatives team.To find out more about the project, visit prio.org/rebuild.To read a policy brief on this topic visit the PRIO website or click here: https://www.prio.org/Publications/Publication/?x=12751 Watch "An Agent for Change" here: https://vimeo.com/562676307/99e79c54f8You can find more PositiveNegatives work at positivenegatives.org

Ger Duany was born in Akobo, South Sudan, on November 9, 1978.[1] He had his first experience of war at the age of seven. His family and community were uprooted. At age 13, war separated him from his mother, and he resorted to becoming a child soldier[1] as a means of survival during South Sudan's struggle for independence.[2] Duany later became a refugee in Ethiopia and then Kenya,[1] and was resettled to the United States from Dadaab camp at the age of 15. Ger Duany went on to earn a college degree in the U.S.. He built a career as an actor and fashion model.During the 2015 World Refugee Day, Duany was announced as the UNHCR's Goodwill Ambassador for the East and Horn of Africa Region. In 2014 he appeared alongside other refugees in the award winning film,  The Good Lie, inspired by the story behind the Lost Boys of Sudan. Ger is the author of  the acclaimed memoir, Walk Towards The Rising Sun .

Miongoni mwa habari kuu za dunia tulizokukusanyia katika makala hii kwa juma hili utasikia kauli ya rais wa DRC Felix Tshisekedi akiomba msaada wa Ufaransa kupambana dhidi ya waasi wa ADF mashariki mwa nchi yake, lakini pia afisa wa polisi Eric Saddam akishuhudia kuhusika na mauaji ya dereva wa mwanaharakati Floribert Chebeya, Kenya kufunga kambi 2 za wakimbizi: Dadaab na Kakuma mwaka ujao, machafuko ya nchini Chad, na kasi ya maambukizi ya Corona huko India.

Kenya says it has formally communicated to the UN refugee agency that it will close the Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps on 30 June 2022.Interior Minister Fred Matiang'í says a team of officials from the government of Kenya and the UNHCR will fast track the process set to begin on 5 May 2022.The latest roadmap includes voluntary repatriation or issuing of free work or residence permits for refugees from the East African Community.The government in March gave the UN a two-week ultimatum to come up with a roadmap for the closure of the two camps, which host more than 400,000 refugees mostly from Somalia, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho added that the decision to close Dadaab and Kakuma camps by 30 June 2022 is in the country’s public interest.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, has announced that Kenya will not shut down Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps but rather seek solutions. Grandi who was in Kenya to ascertain the refugee situation in the region added that the government of Kenya would continue to provide hospitality to refugees, but that it wants a strategy in place on how to manange the camps. This comes after Kenya's High Court suspended the move by government to shut down the camps that hold hundreds of thousands of refugees from war-torn neighboring countries. Kenyan Authorities have insisted the refugee camps pose a security threat. To get a sense where the discussions are in as far as the future of the two camps is concerned, Zikhona Miso spoke to Irungu Houghton, Head of Amnesty's International Kenya Office, listen…

Dadaab Refugee Camp in Kenya is home to more than 200,000 Somali refugees. Of these 200,000 people, 56 percent are children. These young boys and girls growing up in the world's largest refugee camp must resist recruitment into extremist groups, avoid brutality from security forces, and forego dangerous job opportunities. Asad Hussein, a Somali refugee born and raised in Dadaab, found resistance in donated novels written by American immigrants and through communication with his sister Maryan, who already found sanctuary in Arizona. Through stories of happenstance, long odds, impossibly good luck, and uncommon generosity, Hussein would eventually overcome tireless obstacles, reunite his family in the United States, and win a scholarship to study literature at Princeton University. In his new book Beyond the Sand and Sea, American foreign correspondent Ty McCormick reports on Asad Hussein and his family over a three-year period to gain a better understanding of refugee life and place in America. The story of Asad, Maryan, and their family’s escape from Dadaab Refugee Camp is just one of many. This timeless narrative uncovers the perseverance of refugees everywhere, and exposes the broken refugee resettlement system that has kept thousands of families in permanent exile.

Mohamed's story starts with his parents' story, as most of ours do. Over a million Somalis have lost their homes and been forced to flee because of a decades long civil war. Many flee to neighboring countries such as Ethiopia, Djibouti, Yemen, and Kenya. The Dadaab Refugee Camp in Kenya is where Mohamed's family fled to and where he was born 24 years ago. It is the world's largest refugee complex. As of January 2020, the UN estimates 217,532 Somali refugees and asylum seekers are living among it's 5 camps. This is not a healthy place to birth a child, yet children make up 58% of the camp.According to the UN website, Africa Renewal, Dadaab is described as being originally built only as a temporary haven for around 90,000 refugees who were fleeing clan fighting in 1991. It is now a sprawling complex of 5 tent camps that even house makeshift movie theaters and soccer leagues. It is counted as the third largest city in Kenya, after Nairobi and Mombasa. Technically, the camps are overseen by the UNHCR, but practically, it is self-reliant, run democratically by elected community volunteers. According to an article in the Star Tribune in June 2019, 52,333 people living in the Twin Cities in Minnesota claim Somali heritage. Somalia is one of five countries that together produce two-thirds of the world's refugees according to the UN. Sadly, the Pew Research Center cites the number of Somali-born people living outside of their homeland has doubled to 2 million between 1990 and 2015. Mohamed's quote: "The future belongs to those who prepare for it today." - Malcolm XReferences:Somali History: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-14094503 Dadaab Refugee Camp: https://www.un.org/africarenewal/news/refugee-camp-became-cityDadaab Statistics: https://www.unhcr.org/ke/857-statistics.htmlDadaab: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DadaabSomalis in MN: https://www.startribune.com/how-did-the-twin-cities-become-a-hub-for-somali-immigrants/510139341/Somali Global Diaspora: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/06/01/5-facts-about-the-global-somali-diaspora/Epimonia: https://epimonia.com/Mohamed Malim: https://mohamedmalim.com/Epimonia in Greek means Persistence

In the early 1990s, Somalia was consumed by civil war and famine. Millions fled their homes. Many tried to reach neighbouring Kenya in search of survival. In response, the UN set up a refugee camp complex at Dadaab, in a remote part of Eastern Kenya. It became the largest refugee camp in the world. At its height Dadaab was home to 500,000 refugees, most of them Somalis. But the Kenyan government has now announced that it will close down the camp and return the refugees to Somalia. We hear the story of Zamzam Abdi Gelle, a young woman who arrived in Dadaab 25 years ago, after her family was attacked in war torn Somalia. Photo: Dadaab refugee camp in 2011 (BBC)

In the middle of an ongoing refugee crisis, activist and author Ben Rawlence provides an inside look at the world's largest refugee camp, Dadaab.
