This coupled with other drivers of humanitarian crisis, such as armed conflict and evictions have led to 643 000 internal displaced persons in 28 drought-affected districts.

  • "Exodus and Reconstruction of Identities: Somali Minority Refugees
    Exodus and reconstruction of identities : Somali "minority refugees" in Mombasa Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos1 The question of resettlement of asylum seekers, in the light of the flood of demands, makes very strict selection imperative right from the outset and adresses less than 1% of the world refugee population every year. Regarding individuals, the process sometimes looks like a sort of lotery, hence the name given by the Americans for distributing such immigration visas. Regarding whole communities, the victims of ethnic, political, racial or religious persecutions are more clearly targeted. Somalia’s "minority refugees" in Kenya show this very well. Their fate differs remarkedly from other resettlements that, in Eastern Africa, ressembled repatriation, like the 32 000 Indians who went to the UK after being expelled from Uganda in 1972 or the 43 000 Ethiopian Jews, the Falasha “ migrants ”, who were evacuated to Israël between 1984 and 1991 with the so-called Operation Solomon.2 Except a few cases, the former had British citizenship, whereas the latter were part of the Jewish diaspora. In Mombasa, Kenya, Somali refugees did not have these advantages. But they all presented convincing arguments to justify the impossibility of a return to their homeland. Even the Marehan, of Siad Barre the deposed President, who do not even represent 2% of the Somali population, are today condemned to exile because enemy clans took power in Mogadishu. One had to make a choice.
