  • Fear and Loathing in Djibouti · Oneworld Longreads
    5/31/2016 Fear and loathing in Djibouti · OneWorld Longreads Fear and loathing in Djibouti · OneWorld Longreads The daughters who disappeared Refugee camp Ali Addeh, Djibouti Every one of the eight women wants to talk at the same time. Kalsouma, 47, shouts: “We must tell them about our children!” while her neighbour, Yoroub, is discussing firewood. Kalsouma has six children. Three of them live with her in the Ali Addeh refugee camp; the other three are out of station, as she calls it, using the camp jargon term. They have left the camp in search of a better life. Her son Mohammed has been missing for three years. “He tried to cross the sea. I don’t have any information on his whereabouts.” “My niece could not continue at school and has gone to Djibouti City, to make money” The women are sitting on plastic garden chairs in the concrete office space of the UNHCR, the UN refugee organization. They have been selected to talk to me about the problems of the refugee women in Ali Addeh. “Fetch water. Look for firewood,” Yoroub says. “We don’t get fruit,” Zahra (32) says. “No protein.” http://longreads.oneworld.nl/en/djibouti_trafficking/ 1/24 5/31/2016 Fear and loathing in Djibouti · OneWorld Longreads Kalsouma adds: “Children are like flowers. They must grow.” Nothing comes to fruition in Ali Addeh, the women agree. “My daughter was allowed to go to a primary school. She finished but she never got her papers. She was not allowed to continue learning.” “My sister’s daughter was living with me”, says Folsa (35).
