Government of Kenya Planes to Close Dadaab

 Government of Kenya Planes to Close Dadaab


In this year 2016, the government of Kenya is plans to close Dadaab, which is the world’s largest refugee camp. It has about 330,000 refuges. Kenya has threatened to close Dadaab for many times, and the last two years are 2015 and 2016. These occasions were because the camp has been a haven for the Somali jihadist group al-Shabab. Also, Kenya could not deal with all issues that the camp had. 
For example, Kenya still has problems with the militants ,who may live at Dadaab camp.  Even there is no real evidence that links the attackers to Dadaab, Kenya believes that camp is the reason of having these problems.  In fact, the militants killed about 215 people in both Westgate in 2013 and Garissa University in 2015, so Kenya wants to close the camp to end all militants' issues. On the other hand, if Dadaab camp closes, there will be also some disadvantages for all refuges at the camp. Also, there will be hundreds of thousands of refugees whose lives are likely to be affected by this decision. Closing camp is no equitable idea because the number of people ,who get benefits are more than people who get damages. Also, Kenya should have more censorship on these militants and the camp. As a result, it will have safety and helping place for all people who live inside or out side the  camp.
