A great relief

This comes as a great relief that the Kenyan government has accepted to open a new refugee camp along the Kenya-Somali camp, the IFO II camp in Dadaab.I personally thank prime minister Odinga for leading the initiative,he truely has refugees plight in his heart.

This grand opening comes after  worst drought to hit Somalia in years leading to infllux of thousands of refugees across the border to Kenya.Two years the Kenyan government stopped working on the camp citing insecurity as the main factor.Some circles within Kenyas political set up feared the opening would encourage more refugees to enter Kenya.

Around 80,000 refugees are expected in the new camp  a move that has been praised by UNHCR and other relief agenices in the area moreso after the recent break of drought.Concerns over Dadaab being over populated,under facilated or under serviced can now be put to bed.It is my wish that the camp runs smoothly  and refugees right are respected.Also,it is my belief that chlidren concerns within enclaves of the camp should be top of the agenda.
