De campos de refugiados en África a las canchas más grandes del mundo, de Belgrado a Liverpool, de Kakuma a Sídney: los Socceroos son, quizás más que cualquier otro equipo en este Mundial. Esta es la historia, contada a través de los ojos de tres jugadores del equipo australiano masculino de fútbol: los Socceroos.

Born to South Sudanese parents in the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, Awer Mabil moved to Australia at the age of ten. Now representing his country at a second World Cup, he says his play for the Socceroos is a reflection of the gratitude he, and many in his position, feel towards Australia. - 現在開催中のFIFAワールドカップで、オーストラリアを代表しているアワー・マビル選手は、ケニアのカクマ難民キャンプで南スーダン出身の両親のもとに生まれました。10歳のときにオーストラリアへ移住しました。Listen to SBS Japanese Audio on Tue, Thu and Fri from 1pm on SBS 3.

Landmark Difference Makers Interview Series: Godfrey Sangu – Creating New Futures In Kakuma Refugee CampWe welcome Godfrey Sangu—a social changemaker, community educator, researcher, and digital communicator living and working in Kakuma Refugee Camp in northwest Kenya. Kakuma, established in 1992 and now one of the largest refugee-hosting settlements in the world with hundreds of thousands of displaced people, has grown into a place where resilience and community spirit thrive against immense odds.Godfrey has channeled his creativity, leadership, and love of learning into initiatives like the Scorpion Control Center, a community‑based education and safety project that equips refugees, humanitarian workers, and host‑community members with the knowledge to understand and navigate their environment safely and collaboratively.In this conversation, we'll explore how Godfrey's commitment to community wellbeing—born of the day‑to‑day challenges and triumphs of life in Kakuma—has shaped his work, and what we can all learn from his courage, ingenuity, and servant leadership in one of the world's most dynamic humanitarian landscapes.

Les impacts du démantèlement de l'USAID, l'agence des États-Unis pour le développement international, ont été beaucoup étudiés, que ce soit sur les systèmes de santé, l'aide alimentaire ou encore les programmes socio-économiques. Mais des chercheurs ont révélé dans la dernière revue Science que la fin de l'USAID a également provoqué une augmentation des épisodes de violence sur le continent africain : de 5 à 10 % de plus que l'année précédente. Après les coupes de l'USAID, la tension est montée dans le camp de réfugiés de Kakuma, au Kenya, l'année dernière. John Thomas Muyumba est l'un des représentants de la jeunesse du camp, il était présent : « La coupe des fonds de l'USAID a eu un impact considérable sur de nombreux services, y compris l'éducation et les distributions alimentaires. Le PAM (le Programme alimentaire mondial) a réduit ses distributions à certaines catégories de réfugiés. Les jeunes ont estimé que la situation n'était pas acceptable et que nous devions faire quelque chose. C'est pour ça que l'année dernière, nous avons manifesté. » Des heurts ont alors éclaté. Cet épisode n'est pas isolé. Les chercheurs ont croisé les données géolocalisées sur les versements historiques de l'USAID avec les évènements violents enregistrés par des organisations spécialisées telles qu'Acled, une organisation qui collecte des données sur les conflits. « Ce qu'on voit, c'est qu'assez vite après l'implémentation de ces coupes brutales, il y a une augmentation d'incidents violents exactement dans les régions qui dépendaient le plus de cette aide américaine », détaille Oliver Vanden Eynde. Il est chercheur en économie, directeur de recherche au CNRS et co-auteur de l'article. « La progression se situe entre 5 et 10 %. Il faut imaginer qu'on a eu quand même des milliers d'incidents violents sur la période qu'on étudie. Donc, même une augmentation de 5 %, ça correspond très vite à des centaines d'incidents supplémentaires qui sont intervenus après ces coupes dans l'aide », poursuit-il. À lire aussiÉthiopie: faute de financements, le PAM doit interrompre son aide à 650 000 femmes et enfants « Les opportunités économiques se contractent très vite » Les chercheurs n'ont pas trouvé de prédominance de violence selon le type de secteur concerné par les coupes – l'aide alimentaire, la santé ou la gouvernance. Mais il est possible de dégager des mécanismes. « Par exemple, au Soudan du Sud, l'USAID finançait un programme d'emploi qui était ciblé sur des jeunes qui étaient à risque d'être recrutés par des groupes armés. Ce type de programme a été fermé du jour au lendemain et on s'imagine que ces jeunes-là, ils voient leurs opportunités économiques se contracter très, très vite, illustre le chercheur. Et donc on a en tête ce type de mécanisme. Les opportunités économiques se contractent très très vite et en même temps, les raisons fondamentales qui sont à la source de conflits ne vont pas disparaître. Et c'est ce mécanisme-là qui peut expliquer une augmentation de violences, même si dans notre étude, on ne peut pas démontrer tous ces mécanismes dans le détail. » Une difficulté due au sujet, mais rendue d'autant plus complexe du fait que les collectes statistiques étaient largement financées par l'USAID. La mise à jour des données avec plus de recul devrait permettre de voir sur le long terme les répercussions conflictuelles des coupes américaines.

This month we were delighted to be joined by a colleague from Social and Cultural Anthropology at University of Helsinki. Stefan Millar is a Social Anthropologist who specializes in the state, migration, colonialism, and infrastructures. Stefan is currently a post-doctoral researcher at the Centre of Excellence in Research on Ageing and Care. Our conversation focused most directly on Stefan's PhD research, which examined the role of the state in the context of Kakuma Refugee Camp in Northern Kenya. Stefan has focused on the state and infrastructures within the space of the refugee camp. Stefan gives us insight into his personal trajectory and how he got interested in the long durée implications of colonialism. In his current work in Kenya, he is looking at urban infrastructures that refugees create to mitigate the end of aid (US Aid and the withdrawal of European aid), especially in relation to food and water. Stefan is interested in how people navigate this context and what alternatives they develop to continue surviving under the conditions of redistribution of aid. On the theoretical side, we talked extensively about Stefan's critique of Giorgio Agamben's state of exception. Join us for this layered and exciting conversation!Interested to learn more about Stefan's work? https://www.helsinki.fi/en/about-us/people/people-finder/stefan-millar-9472907 Want to read Stefan's PhD dissertation? https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/files/254098602/1._EncampedStatesMillar.pdf KANERE, Kakuma based journalism:https://kanere.org/about-kakuma-refugee-camp/KRIN, network for Kakuma based refugee-led organizations:https://reframe.network/rlo/kakuma-kalobeyei-refugee-led-initiatives-kkrin

Episode #450: Over three days, Insight Myanmar led a Digital Storytelling Workshop with academics and activists, where we explored how presence, curiosity, and the simple invitation “tell me more” can open real dialogue in a polarized Myanmar. What they created was tender, courageous, and deeply human — conversations that welcome not only each other, but also the unseen listener they hope to reach. This is the second of three episodes in this series. Sarah, a former international relations student, describes how the coup abruptly ended her studies and forced her from academic ambition into survival mode. Realizing she might never return to university, she fled Myanmar for Thailand, where initial safety gave way to fear once she became undocumented. Repeated police harassment and bribery threats left her anxious and isolated, struggling with unstable finances and the emotional strain of living alone. She relies on counseling to cope, yet continues supporting Myanmar's revolution however she can. Despite everything, she hopes to someday return home, resume her studies, and urges exiles to show kindness to one another. Alex, an academic advisor with the online Parami University, traces her path into humanitarian and transcultural education through formative experiences in multicultural and miultilingualsettings. Working with children in India and later in a refugee camp in Athens showed her how education can create trust and stability, even in crisis. She now advises Burmese students in Chiang Mai, many of whom face displacement and legal insecurity, and has also visited Kenya's Kakuma camp. Her long-term commitment is centered in her students: their determination, cultural pride, and efforts to build community. Elsa, a student from Yangon now living in Thailand after fleeing the coup, reflects on the foods she grew up loving—especially sweet and spicy Burmese dishes and the many regional versions of mohinga she cannot easily find in Thailand. She notes the overlap between Thai and Burmese flavors and imagines creative blends using coconut cream. Her long-held dream is to open a Burmese tea shop that recreates Myanmar's communal, welcoming atmosphere with simple wooden furniture, shared spaces, and small acts of hospitality. Although she anticipates challenges with Thai regulations and staffing, she remains committed to building a place that shares culture and kindness through food.

Wanadamu ni viumbe ambao hukamilika wanapokuwa kwenye jamii ambapo wanaweza kuelezea hisia zao,kujihisi wanathaminiwa na wana mchango kwa wengine. Mambo  hayo yanapokosa,inaweza kuwa chanzo cha matatizo ya kiafya.Na hii ni hali ambao hukuwa nao wakimbizi ambao wametenganishwa na wapendwa wao. Katika kambi ya Kakuma iliyoko kaunti ya Turkana,kaskazini mwa Nchi ya Wakenya,tulizungumza na wakimbizi ambao walilazimika kutengana na wapendwa wao kwa sababu ya migogoro ya kifamilia,ukoo na hata vita. Ingawa wamepata makao katika kambi ya wakimbizi bado maisha yao hayajakamilika . Wengi wameishi kwenye hali ya upweke,huzuni na kiwewe  na kupata matatizo ya kiafya yakiwemo matatizo ya afya ya akili. Aidha kuna wale ambao wamepatwa na maradhi kama shinikizo la damu ,kisukari,ukosefu wa usingizi na chanzo ni matatizo ambayo wamekumbana nao katika kambi,ugumu wa maisha bila watu walio karibu nawe ambao unaweza kuzungumza nao na kuliwazana. Kamati ya kimataifa ya msalaba mwekundu,ICRC pamoja na shirika la msalaba mwekundu nchini ,KRC,katika kujaribu kukabili hali hiyo ,zinatekeleza mpango wa kujaribu kurejesha mawasiliano na uhusiano wa familia za wakimbizi. Kwa kuwatafuta namna ambao wakimbizi hao wanaweza kuwasiliana kupitia ujumbe wa kuandikiwa au  kwa njia ya simu,mashirika hayo wanasema wamefanikiwa kuwarejeshea tabasamu wachache wenye bahati na wanaendelea kuwasaka wanafamilia zaidi kila mwaka. Matunda ya mpango huo yameonekana miongoni mwa wakimbizi wanaozungumza na jamaa zao na pia kwa wahudumu wa kujitolea wanaotangamana karibu kila siku na wakimbizi hao kwenye kambi.

Jaridani leo tunaangazia waandishi wa habari waliouawa katika ukanda wa Gaza, na wakimbizi wa Burundi huko Tanzania. Makala inamulika maendeleo na ustawi kwa wakimbizi Kakuma nchini Kenya na mashinani inatupeleka katika kaunti ya Tana River nchini humo, kulikoni?Kufuatia kuuawa kwa waandishi sita wa habari huko Gaza, viongozi wa mashirika mbalimbali ya Umoja wa Mataifa wamekosoa vikali shambulio hilo lililotekelezwa na majeshi ya Israel usiku wa kuamkia leo.Moja ya changamoto kubwa wanazokutana nazo wakimbizi pale wanapokaa nchi waliyopatiwa uhifadhi kwa muda mrefu ni kukosa nyaraka muhimu za utambulisho. Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa linalohusika na masuala ya wakimbizi UNHCR limekuwa mstari wa mbele katika kuhakikisha wanapata suluhu ya changamoto hii. Makala inamulika mnufaika wa Jamii Biashara ambalo ni jukwaa la mtandaoni la masoko lililobuniwa na Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kazi duniani, (ILO) na Chama cha Wafanyabiashara na Viwanda Kenya, (KNCCI). Jukwaa hili limefungua fursa kwa wakimbizi wanaoshughulika na biashara ndogo ndogo ili kujikimu maisha katika kambi ya wakimbizi ya Kakuma nchini Kenya.

Support us on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! Keir Starmer announced earlier this year that he would reduce the aid budget to 0.3% of national income, from 0.5%, to fund increased spending on defence. But according to the government's own impact assessment, Labour's deep aid cuts will hit children's education and reduce spending in women's health. Why are women worse affected by aid cuts? Because crisis is sexist. When disaster strikes, women are 14 times more likely to die than men. In Gaza, UN analysis showed close to 70% of verified victims over a six-month period were women and children. But women are also underrepresented in decision-making about how aid is distributed, and so the solutions rarely reflect this. In this episode recorded 2023, Media Storm partnered with the International Rescue Committee to platform the lived experience of women in disaster zones— not just as victims, but as leaders of solutions. The IRC makes a conscious effort to place women at the centre of emergency responses, and has connected us with pioneers in Yemen, Pakistan and the world's biggest refugee camp: Kakuma, in Kenya. We also hear voices from Afghanistan, Nigeria and North American indigenous communities, who reveal how conflict and climate change disproportionately impact women and girls. We were then joined in the studio by actress and Amnesty ambassador Nazanin Boniadi, to look at how a male-dominated mainstream media and Eurocentric headlines can hide the realities facing women of the world. We look at the unique case of Iran, where women have revolted following the state murder of Mahsa Amini in 2022, and the press' crucial role in fighting for human rights for everybody.

Au nord-ouest du Kenya, les camps de Kakuma et Kalobayei font face à une crise humanitaire sans précédent. Depuis le retrait brutal de l'aide américaine USAID en janvier, les rations ont fondu, les violences ont éclaté et tout le système humanitaire menace de s'effondrer.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina, ikiwa kesho tarehe 20 mwezi Juni ni siku ya kimataifa ya wakimbizi maudhui yakiwa Mshikamano na Wakimbizi, tunakupeleka kwenye kambi ya wakimbizi ya Kakuma iliyoko kaunti ya Turkana, kaskazini-magharibi mwa Kenya.Uwekezaji wa moja kwa moja kutoka nje FDI umeshuka kwa mwaka wa pili mfululizo, ukihatarisha mustakabali wa maendeleo katika nchi zinazoendelea, kwa mujibu wa wa ripoti iliyotolewa leo na kamati ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya biashara na maendeleo UNCTAD. ikionya kuwa pengo la mitaji linaongezeka huku sekta muhimu kama nishati safi na miundombinu zikikosa ufadhili wa muda mrefu.Katika siku ya kimataifa ya kutokomeza ukatili wa kingono kwenye mizozo, Umoja wa Mataifa umetoa onyo kuwa ukatili wa kingono unazidi kutumika kama silaha ya vita huku wanawake na wasichana wakiathirika zaidi. Kwa mujibu wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la idadi ya watu na afya ya uzazi UNFPA "Huu si uharibifu wa bahati mbaya  ni uhalifu wa kivita. Na waathirika lazima wawe kiini cha amani, haki, na urejeshwaji wa maisha."Shirika la Afya la Umoja wa Mataifa  Duniani (WHO) leo limezindua mwongozo wake wa kwanza wa kimataifa wa kudhibiti ugonjwa wa seli mundu (sickle cell) wakati wa ujauzito, ukilenga kupunguza hatari za maisha kwa mama na mtoto. WHO inasema wanawake wenye ugonjwa huu wana hatari hadi mara 11 zaidi ya kufariki dunia wakati wa ujauzito. Hivyo huduma bora za afya zinaweza kuokoa maisha, lakini visa vya seli mundu vinaongezeka duniani, huku Afrika Kusini mwa Jangwa la Sahara ikichangia asilimia 80.Na katika kujifunza lugha ya Kiswahili hii leo Dkt Mwanahija Ali Juma, Katibu Mtendaji wa Baraza la Kiswahili, Zanzibar nchini Tanzania, BAKIZA anafafanua maana ya neno "KIHORO!.Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kayanda, karibu!

What if grief could actually help us do better humanitarian work? In this episode of The Better Samaritan Podcast, Dr. Jamie Aten and Kent Annan explore the idea of lament—or as Jamie calls it, “faithful grief”—and how it can reshape how we approach global challenges and humanitarian aid. Drawing from Kent's book Slow Kingdom Coming, personal stories, and research with Biola and the University of Connecticut, they break down how lament isn't just about sadness—it's about being honest with God through complaint, praise, and asking for help. They also share powerful moments from places like post-earthquake Haiti and the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, where leaders model resilience and generosity in the face of scarcity. This episode offers a fresh take on grief, healing, and hope—and how small, faithful actions can lead to significant change in a hurting world.

Le concept n'est plus tabou : présenter les réfugiés aux investisseurs comme des opportunités. Car après la phase d'urgence, l'aide humanitaire est loin de pouvoir répondre à tous les besoins de ces populations. Ce sont maintenant les opérateurs privés qu'on cherche à convaincre d'investir dans les camps.  Les camps de réfugiés sont toujours plus grands : plus de 100 000 Maliens à Mbera dans l'Est de la Mauritanie,  plus de 600 000 Congolais, Somaliens, Burundais et Soudanais du Sud à Kakuma et Dabaab au Kenya... Des réfugiés souvent laissés en marge des communautés locales et du développement.La Société financière internationale (IFC), membre du Groupe de la Banque mondiale, et l'agence des Nations unies pour les réfugiés ont signé un partenariat il y a deux ans pour attirer des investissements privés. Cheikh Oumar Silla, vice-président de l'IFC, déclare : « Pour pouvoir agir dans ce secteur, il y a plusieurs facteurs. Il faut s'adresser à l'écosystème qui donne l'autorisation de pouvoir travailler avec ou d'employer des réfugiés. Mais il y a aussi une question de perception. Donc, un changement de mentalité est nécessaire. À partir du moment où des institutions comme l'IFC regardent un projet, la perception du risque est fortement réduite. »À lire aussiMauritanie: dans le camp de Mbera, l'investissement des réfugiés pour faire face aux besoinsRenewia étend son réseauCertaines entreprises ont déjà franchi le pas. Douglas Cox est américain. Basé au Rwanda, il est chargé du développement des projets de Renewia Energy en Afrique. Son entreprise vend de l'électricité aux réfugiés du camp de Kakuma, où seulement 8% des habitants sont connectés au réseau national :« Quand tu regardes la taille de certains camps, cela semble évident, explique-t-il. On a ici des centaines de milliers de personnes. Elles développent forcément des activités économiques. Leur fournir les services qui n'émergent pas naturellement ou que les ONG n'apportent pas représente une vraie opportunité. »Un accès à l'électricité qui change, tout insiste l'entrepreneur : ouvertures de cinémas, d'ateliers de couture et même de banques etc. La vie du camp est transformée et Renewia ne cesse d'étendre son réseau : « En 2019, on a d'abord raccordé 500 habitations et commerces à l'électricité. Cela a ensuite été étendu à 3 000. Et en mai prochain, notre objectif est d'atteindre 19 000 connexions, ce qui représente un tiers du camp. »Difficile de recruter dans les campsAprès avoir bénéficié de l'appui des coopérations allemande et américaine, Douglas Cox estime aujourd'hui qu'il n'a plus besoin d'aide. Mais pour beaucoup d'investisseurs, en dépit des efforts des institutions, les obstacles à l'investissement privé demeurent. Il n'est parfois pas toujours possible d'employer des réfugiés. Dans d'autres cas, ceux-ci ne peuvent même détenir un commerce ou une simple puce de téléphone.Pourtant, la Banque mondiale l'assure, étude à l'appui : la présence d'un camp loin de nuire à la croissance de la région qui l'accueille, est plutôt de nature à la booster.

Lost Kids of the Sudan: The War and Her Motivating Story of Escaping Trauma. Rebecca Deng’s journey from the war-torn villages of South Sudan to becoming a U.S. citizen and international advocate is nothing short of inspiring. As one of the 89 Lost Girls of Sudan, her story represents the resilience of those who have faced unimaginable horrors and still found a way to thrive. While much attention has been given to the Lost Boys of Sudan, Rebecca’s experience sheds light on the often-overlooked stories of the girls who survived similar atrocities. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. The interview with Rebecca Deng is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website and platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. The Outbreak of War and the "Lost Kids of Sudan" The Second Sudanese Civil War, one of the longest civil conflicts in history, began in 1983 when the Sudanese government imposed Sharia law and revoked the autonomy of the southern region. This decision reignited tensions that had been simmering since the First Sudanese Civil War (1955–1972). The effects were catastrophic: mass displacement, famine, atrocities committed by all sides, and an estimated two million deaths. The war ultimately led to the creation of the Republic of South Sudan in 2011. Children bore the brunt of this brutal conflict. Many were victims of violence, flogging, and even placed in leg-irons. Schools were destroyed, and thousands of young boys and girls were forced to flee their homes. While the "Lost Boys of Sudan" became widely known for their perilous journey to Ethiopia and later to Kenya, the "Lost Girls of Sudan," like Rebecca Deng, faced equally harrowing experiences, compounded by gender-based violence and exploitation. Lost Kids of the Sudan: The War and Her Motivating Story of Escaping Trauma. Read the supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. Rebecca’s Early Life and Escape Rebecca Deng, a member of South Sudan’s Dinka tribe, was just four years old when her village was attacked. Forced to flee from gunfire, she embarked on a terrifying journey that would span years and continents. Alongside other children, she faced hunger, illness, and life-threatening predators, both human and animal. Their path to safety was fraught with dangers, from militia attacks to natural threats and disease. By the early 1990s, Rebecca and other survivors reached the Kakuma Refugee Camp in northern Kenya. Life in Kakuma was harsh; the camp was overcrowded, resources were scarce, and the trauma of war lingered. For the girls, the challenges were even greater. Many were fostered into families for protection, a practice rooted in South Sudanese culture. However, this often led to further exploitation, with some girls being sold into marriage at a young age to secure resources for their foster families. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. Life in the Kakuma Refugee Camp Rebecca spent eight years in Kakuma, where she began to rebuild her life despite the overwhelming odds. Education became a beacon of hope. Though resources were limited, she seized every opportunity to learn, determined to rise above her circumstances. Her resilience and dedication eventually led to her being among the 89 Lost Girls who were resettled in the United States in 2000. Lost Kids of the Sudan: The War and Her Motivating Story of Escaping Trauma. The resettlement process was not easy. Unlike the Lost Boys, who were recognized as unaccompanied minors and prioritized for resettlement, many Lost Girls were overlooked. Their integration into foster families made their journey to the U.S. even more remarkable. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. A New Beginning in the United States At the age of 15, Rebecca arrived in the United States, a land vastly different from the refugee camp she had known for most of her life. The transition was challenging, she had to learn English, adapt to a new culture, and navigate the complexities of American society. But Rebecca’s determination never wavered. She embraced every educational opportunity and worked tirelessly to build a new life. Rebecca became a U.S. citizen, marking a significant milestone in her journey. Her experiences fueled a passion for advocacy, particularly for women and children affected by war. She pursued higher education and eventually authored her memoir, "What They Meant for Evil: How a Lost Girl of Sudan Found Healing, Peace, and Purpose in the Midst of Suffering."

Balancing family life with her advocacy work is no small feat, but Rebecca approaches both with the same resilience and dedication that have defined her journey. Her story is a testament to the human spirit’s capacity to overcome even the most harrowing circumstances. The trauma of her early years remains a part of her, but it does not define her. Instead, it fuels her mission to support others who have faced similar adversities. The Ongoing Crisis in Sudan Rebecca’s story is not just a reflection of the past but a mirror to the present. The ongoing conflict in Sudan continues to displace millions and claim lives. According to the United Nations, over 6.6 million Sudanese have been internally displaced, with more than 2 million fleeing to neighboring countries like South Sudan, Chad, Kenya, Uganda, Egypt, and Ethiopia. The U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations estimates that casualties could be as high as 150,000. Rebecca’s advocacy highlights these ongoing issues, reminding the world that the plight of refugees is far from over. Lost Kids of the Sudan: The War and Her Motivating Story of Escaping Trauma.

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.   

Forced displacement is a development challenge, not only a humanitarian concern. As of September 2023, 114 million people were displaced, and this number continues to grow as conflict and insecurity rise across the globe. Most refugees are hosted by developing countries, and the issues around support and integration of refugee communities are often deeply political.In this episode— the second in our special series on how to end poverty on a livable planet—we're asking the question: How can we better support the world's growing number of refugees and their host communities? What economic benefits can refugee integration bring to societies?Tune in to hear the real-life experience of Abdullahi Mire, winner of the 2023 UNHCR Nansen Refugee Award, who grew up in one of the largest refugee camps in the world and is now a champion of refugee education; and Nancy Karambo Riungu, a Kenyan entrepreneur working with refugees. We also get insights from the UN Refugee Agency's Raouf Mazou and The World Bank's Xavier Devictor on how humanitarian agencies, development institutions and the private sector can better support refugees. Stay with us until the end of the episode to catch the reading of a poem by Kinshasa- born, British poet JJ Bola, who reflects on life as a refugee.Tell us what you think of our podcast here >>>.

Book Media Storm LIVE at the London Podcast Festival, Saturday 16th Sep at 7pm: https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/words/media-storm-2/Aid budgets have been hit hard by Covid and economic upheaval. But the hardest hit of all are women and girls. Just last week, UK headlines revealed the government's slashes to humanitarian aid mean hundreds of thousands more women will face unsafe abortions and deaths from pregnancy - by their own assessment.Why are women worse affected?Because crisis is sexist. When disaster strikes, women are 17 times more likely to die than men. But they are underrepresented in decision-making about how aid is distributed, and so the solutions rarely reflect this.For World Humanitarian Day, Media Storm has partnered with the International Rescue Committee to platform the lived experience of women in disaster zones— not just as victims, but as leaders of solutions. The IRC makes a conscious effort to place women at the centre of emergency responses, and has connected us with pioneers in Yemen, Pakistan and the world's biggest refugee camp: Kakuma, in Kenya. We also hear voices from Afghanistan, Nigeria and North American indigenous communities, who reveal how conflict and climate change disproportionately impact women and girls.We are joined in the studio by Amnesty ambassador Nazanin Boniadi (who also fights for justice in Middle Earth - see The Rings of Power), to look at how a male-dominated mainstream media and Eurocentric headlines can hide the realities facing women of the world. We look at the unique case of Iran, where women have revolted following the state murder of Jina Mahsa Amini, and the press' crucial role in fighting for human rights for everybody.Buy the team a coffee on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MediaStormPodcast The episode is created by Mathilda Mallinson (@mathildamall) and Helena Wadia (@helenawadia).

Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF linashirikiana na wadau kuisaidia serikali ya Kenya katika kaunti ya Turkana kuhakikisha elimu ya awali inawafikia watoto wote hususan kwenye kambi ya wakimbizi ya Kakuma. Flora Nducha anatupasha zaidi katika taarifa hii.Asubuhi mapema katika kambi ya wakimbizi ya Kakuma, ni wakati wa watoto kwenda shule tayari kuanza siku kwa masomo darasani “Mimi jina langu ni Nyota Plamedy Baraka nina miaka sita, napenda kusoma, napenda wageni , napenda vitabu na nawapenda marafiki zangu.”Nyota ni miongoni mwa mamia ya watoto wakimbizi kutoka nchi mbalimbali walioko katika kambi hii na baba yake Baraka Munange mkimbizi mwenye watoto watano anasema elimu hii ni ya muhimu na ndio tegemeo pekee la mustakbali bora kwa watoto wao “Watoto wangu wanasoma shule ya msingi ya Morning Star , na shule ya chekechea ni nzuri sana kwa mwanzo wa mtoto kwa sababu inamfanya mtoto ajue kuongea, ajifunze kuandika na zaidi.”Kambini hapa kuna shule nyingi ambazo kwa msaada wa ufadhili kutoka kwa kanisa la Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints Charities, UNICEF inaweza kuhakikisha elimu inatolewa ikiwepo katika shule ya msingi ya Kalemchuch “Jina langu ni Joyce Lotenga niña umri wa miaka 8, nasoma katika shule ya Kalemchuch.”Joyce ni mmoja kati ya watoto tisa wa Francis Lomoi “Mimi ni babaye Joyce, Joyce yuko darasa la pili katika shule ya Kalemchuch kwa sababu tunakubali watoto wakimbizi kusoma pamoja na wengine, ili wote waweze kusoma kwenye shule pamoja ndio maana watoto wamekuwa wengi”Watoto hawa wanafaidika na elimu chini ya program inayoendeshwa na serikali ya “Kujifunza Maisha yote” na mbali ya elimu pia wanashiriki shughuli mbalimbali za michezo ikiwemo kuimba.Kwa mujibu wa serikali ya kaunti ya Turkana, ukame umekuwa changamoto kubwa kwa watoto hawa wanaotoka mataifa mbalimbali kupata elimu lakini jitihada zinafanyika.Afisa wa elimu wa UNICEF Kenya Sarah Musengya paul anasela licha ya changamoto hizo “Hatua kubwa zimepigwa katika elimu ya awali kwenye kaunti ya Turkana, katika usaili wa watoto sasa ikiwa imefikia asilimia 166 ambayo ni juu ya kiwango cha wastan cha serikali, pili tumepiga hatua katika vifaa vya kusomea kama madawati na viti na vifaa vingine ambavyo vimewafanya wanafunzi kufurahia kuendelea kusoma. Lakini bado kuna changamoto katika kaunti ya Turkana ikiwemo mlo shuleni katika shule zinazotoa mlo kiwango bado ni kidogo hakikidhi mahitaji ya watoto hata wa chekechea.”Kwa wazazi elimu hii inayotolewa ni baraka na matumaini kwa watoto wao “Mimi mzazi nikishakuja nyumbani nawakuta watoto wanazungumza walichofundishwa shuleni ni kiytu kimoja ambacho kinanifurahisha sana na kuonyesha kwamba watoto wanasoma vizuri.”UNICEF limeahidi kuongeza juhudi zaidi hasa za kupata wafadhili ili kuhakikisha changamoto hizo zinatatuliwa.

Hawa ni majirani zangu, na kisha anapanda pikipiki kuelekea kazini. Deline anaendelea kueleza "Ninafanya kazi katika shirika liitwalo Solidarity iniatiative for refugees, shirika la kijamii linalojihusisha na kuwajengea uwezo wanawake kuweza kutumia teknolojia ya kidijitali ili kuboresha maisha yao.

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.
