Kenya to close all refugee camps and displace 600,000 people

Kenya plans to close all of its refugee camps in a move that would displace more than 600,000 people. The country’s government said it was shutting down the camps due to “very heavy” economic, security and environmental issues. Those due to close include Dadaab, the largest refugee camp in the world, home to more than 300,000 people on the Kenya-Somalia border.
