Deputy President Willam Ruto who presided over the signing of the agreement called on the Somalia government to expedite the reintegration exercise as a way of rebuilding the horn of Africa nation.

The international community and both Kenya and Somalia have pledged their support for the action plan.

A tripartite commission will also be set up to expedite the reintegration process and find lasting solutions to the refugee problem.

Deputy President William Ruto while pledging the country’s support for a voluntary repatriation exercise called on the refugees to use skills and capital gained to contribute in rebuilding their nation.

The country has been a major host of mainly Somalia refugees in the horn of Africa a situation that has led to a humanitarian crisis and challenges of terrorism, banditry and organized crime.

Kakuma and Daadab refugee camps presently host over a million documented and undocumented refugees half of whom are Somalia refugees.

In the wake of the Westgate terrorist attack, members of parliament increased calls for the closure of the refugee camps as terrorists were said to be using the camps as training grounds.

UNHCR representative to Kenya  Rauof Mazou and Somalia foreign affairs minister Yusuf Adam have also pledged their support for the  repatriation roadmap.

  1. During the former President of Somaliland, HE Rayaale, had a similar exercise of Somaliland
    Refugees from Ethiopia and Djibouti which were successfully reintegrated into all the
    Somaliland Regions..thanks to the wise leadership of President Rayaale's bold commitment
    and accomplishment. In Similar moves, the Somalia refugees should be repatriated and the FGS
    should shoulder their reintegration within the roadmap Signatories territories of Somalia.
    The sooner that this exercise takes off the better for both Kenya and Somalia. After that,
    the borders between Kenya and Somalia would be more controllable from both ends.
    Cheers.

  3. Foreign Aid is ”sufficient as a tailor in Hell”, the UN still execute poor people as part of their 90% world depopulation agenda

    •Millions of people of the poor world suffer beyond imagination and die because of the selfish, rich man only caring about himself.
    •I have used the Dadaab refugee camp as example of “unimaginable sufferings” of the poor world sending out my outcry to help, but the world did nothing but hiding it!
    •Foreign aid and contributions are “sufficient as a tailor in Hell” still executing the poorest people, thus following the TRUE wish of 90% depopulation of UN.
    •Global military spending is 1.700 billon USD, global foreign aid is 128 billion USD and still rich countries want further reductions in aid – to drop bombs on the poor!
    •Irresponsible media do NOT live up to their responsibility waking up empathy of the world population and United Nations to TRULY lift poor people out of poverty.
    •The whole attitude of NGO’s and people is WRONG when you believe that “only little money” can bring a “big help”, when it is indeed keeping people in the worst poverty.
    •Selfish and greedy NGO’s paint a “too rosy picture” hiding the REAL TRUTH of extreme sufferings of poor people, thus directly KILLING PEOPLE!

    NGO’s have turned into cold and cynic “executioners” instead of true humanitarians also welcoming volunteers

    •No NGO’s accept volunteers to help directly from man to man in need herewith effectively blocking out the need of many thousands to offer immediate crisis help.
    •It was IMPOSSIBLE to become a volunteer with an NGO to offer HUMANITARIAN work despite of a GIANT need – so I was “hired” for free by Lutheran World Federation (LWF) because of my skills!
    •NGO’s work as bureaucratic businesses deciding over life/death – their work and lack of funds turn them into cold and cynic “executioners” instead of true humanitarians!
    •Some people working in the “aid industry” play a double-game sexually abusing women and children belonging to the weakest people in the world.
    •I left LWF because they don’t accept volunteers, don’t speak the truth about human disasters and because I wanted to help the poorest NOT doing their office work!
