  • So why are the girls facing hardship in Kakuma while the boys are living out the American dream?

New dangers threaten Kenya's Kakuma refugee camp - 0 views

  • Life in the camp is hard, and it is about to get harder. Poorly funded infrastructure means that disease is always a threat. The coming rains could overwhelm the already overstretched water and sanitation facilities, said aid officials on the ground, who worried about overflowing toilets and outbreaks of diarrhea, pneumonia, measles and cholera. One third of the camp’s population lacks adequate shelter, according to the UN. Even firewood is scarce; some people actually have sold their food rations to buy wood to cook with.
  • The latter advertises a “mine risk education program.” Poisonous spiders, snakes, and scorpions abound in the area.
  • The second threat is terrorism. Now, with the success of the Kenyan army in pushing back al-Shabaab, there is concern that members of the militant Islamic militia may try to infiltrate the camp.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • There are also more than 57,000 children in the camp, about 5,000 of whom have no parents. A lack of funding means that services to them are limited.
  • Maker said that since he left Sudan as a little boy, he has not seen his parents. “So I don’t know where they are at this time and that’s why I am still in the camp. And camp is just like my home now, you know?” he said.
  • They ran excitedly across the dirt field, barefoot, clad in threadbare t-shirts. An older boy kicked a goal as a smaller child stood on the sideline, watching quietly. Looming behind them was the main gate, where a sign reminds entrants to “leave the camp better than you found it.”

About Kakuma Refugee Camp - 1 views

  • It was established in 1992 to serve Sudanese refugees,
  • The local Kenyan population is largely comprised of nomadic pastoralists from the Turkana community.
  • Life in the semi-arid desert environment of Kakuma is rather challenging. The area has always been full of problems: dust storms, high temperatures, poisonous spiders, snakes, and scorpions, outbreaks of malaria, cholera, and other hardships. The average daytime temperature is 40 degrees Celsius, or 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • “Anyone confined to a place like Kakuma is rendered automatically dependent on some form of hand-out” (2000, p. 23). 
  • KANERE said, on January 13, 2009 at 7:44 pm It is difficult to provide a comprehensive response to this excellent query. Generally speaking, Kenyans living in other areas of Kenya a) have never heard of Kakuma Camp; b) have heard of it but assume it is located in Sudan; or c) know the camp as the “place for lots of refugees.” Those who are well aware of the situation consider Kakuma to be a difficult place to live, for both refugees and locals. Some Kenyans view refugee camps as a danger to national security. Others view camps as worthy humanitarian endeavors. Interestingly, many NGO and UNHCR staff working in Kakuma Refugee Camp look upon Kakuma as an extreme hardship zone and eagerly await placement to new (urban) job locations. This despite their lavish living conditions as compared to refugees.

    Whoever is interested in the Civil War, the Lost Boys' Journey, how they survived and what they have become today...YOU SHOULD READ THIS !!! It includes facts such as how many were killed in the conflict in Sudan, exactly what happened in the villages and how the Lost Boys were created. Also it briefly gives examples on the types of diseases and dangers they faced during the walk, and where they were headed and how long it took them to reach safety.

  • South Sudan
  • The south’s departure did not put an end to conflicts. There were many unresolved issues, and Sudan and South Sudan soon began squabbling bitterly over how to demarcate the border and share oil profits. (The conundrum of the two Sudans is that both countries are extremely dependent on oil, but while the export pipelines run through the north, the bulk of the crude oil lies in the landlocked south.)
  • Tribal and cultural tensions are an ongoing issue

    Guys, I suggest you read this article. It's very helpful.
