Kenya: Government denies plans to close Dadaab
22.02.2012
The Kenyan government has denied it is planning to close the world's largest refugee camp, playing down suggestions that President Mwai Kibaki might do so during his visit to London. Kibaki is currently in the UK for a three-day conference with David Cameron. Almost half a million Somalis live in the Dadaab camp, 60 miles from the Somalian border. Numbers in the camp grew steadily last year as famine gripped the region.
