600,000 refugee's have just one wish

Kenya has a major problem.due to Somalia and lack of world response. Lawlessness is the name of the game in Somalia. A total of around 600,000 people fled across the border into Kenya. Almost all are located in two camps. They are Dadaab and Kakuma. People in these camps are not allowed to leave or hod a job. Going back is a death sentence.  Many countries have offered to help. Very few have done so.

Kenya has come up with their viable solution. They claim the terrorist group al-shabaab is using the camps. Their government department that handled refuges has been shut down. Kenya has stated all camps will be shut down. The people have to leave the country.

These refugee's have only one wish. Kenya and the rest of the world do not want to hear it. It is a simple wish. Their only wish is to live.

I watched news feed and read information from the following links before blogging.
