Overview
09/11/2022
As the country hosting one of the largest refugee populations in Africa, Kenya hosts over 520,000 refugees and asylum seekers, including more than 287,000 from Somalia and close to 142,000 from South Sudan, some 50,000 from DRC, and 31,000 from Ethiopia. The majority of refugees are staying in Dadaab camp in the southeast, Kakuma camp in the northwest, and in Nairobi. ?
Since 2014, at least 85,000 Somali refugees have returned to Somalia through a voluntary repatriation programme. However, ongoing drought and persisting insecurity have deteriorated the humanitarian situation in Somalia, resulting in movements back to Kenya. ?
