Dadaab is now the third-largest city in Kenya, but there are no Kenyans living there. Instead, it is home to 450,000 Somalis in a camp that was built for 90,000 people. Refugees like Nuriya are not permitted to leave the camp, because the Kenyan government wants them to remain refugees and not become illegal immigrants. The government also prohibits them from working. — Der Spiegel
Dialika Krahe reports from the Ifo Refugee Camp, near Dadaab, Kenya. The camp was originally built for 90,000 people but now has around 450,000. Henok Ochalla, the UN camp manager doesn't see how many of the refugees in Dadaab can ever return. Therefore he'd like to establish a permanent part of the camp called "Ifo Extension." This new permanent "city" would include houses instead of tents, health facilities, schools and mosques.
