Kenya Extends Dadaab Camp Closure By Six Months

The move follows a request from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and other considerations, especially the environmental impact and threats to security. An elaborate repatriation programme will be rolled out in December 2016 to ensure that all refugees will be moved out in a humane manner, according to the interior cabinet secretary.
