Kenya: The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has urged Kenya to reconsider a plan to close the Dadaab refugee camp, saying it would not be party to any transfer of Somalis back to their homeland, which violates international law.
Deputy President William Ruto said on Saturday the State was giving UNHCR three months to remove the camp housing hundreds of thousands of Somali refugees, as part of its response to the killing of 148 people in Garissa.
