Matiang’i issues 14-day ultimatum to UNHCR on closure of Dadaab, Kakuma refugee camps

Interior CS says there is no room for further negotiations.

It has become this:

"Our brothers from the East Africa Community residing in the camps will have an option of repatriation or free work permits to carve out a living anywhere in the country, thus contributing to our nation's social-economic growth," Matiang'i's statement read in part.

This comes a day after the United States Department of State revealed that over the past one year, it had provided nearly Ksh10 billion to Kenya for refugee protection.

"The U.S. has provided nearly Ksh10 billion for refugee protection and humanitarian assistance to help Kenya as it provides regional leadership by hosting refugees and asylum seekers from Somalia, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, and elsewhere," read the statement.

Matiang'i, UN Officials Strike Deal on Closure of Refugee Camps

The leaders held the meeting to deliberate on the closure of Dadaab and Kakuma Refugee Camps.

In other words, he who pays the piper calls the tune. 'Our brothers' can join the swollen ranks of the unemployed. The wily ones will eventually buy Kenyan birth certificates, IDs and passports at Nyayo House.

Seems we have different versions of the message.

Do not confuse an individual's face-saving tweet with the official press release.

Nobody denies that Kenya has borne a huge burden of hosting refugees from the region. The issue here is Matiang'i's 14 day ultimatum and how it ended with him touching his toes because America pays for the hosting.

I predict that the camps will remain past 2022.

You can see that it was a multisectoral agreement seeing that UNHCR and other interested parties are represented in the meeting and decision making, a refugee camp cannot operate in perpetuity, it must have a closure terms, when your country attains peace why should live in tents in a neighbouring country? It's time they went back to build their own countries, this applies to all of them.
