Worldwide Refugee Crisis Continues To Get Worse

The worldwide refugee crisis continues to get worse. One refugee camp in Kenya — Dadaab — has been in place since the 1990s.

But when it was rumored to be closing, refugees had to try to find other options.

To that end, the United Nations began a repatriation program. It would pay Somalian refugees to return to their home country. But that is a very dangerous proposition.

Kevin Sieff, Africa Bureau Chief for The Washington Post, wrote about the repatriation program and is with me via Skype to talk about it.
