Somalia

Advocacy for Somalia

What is Happening?

Over the past two decades, a deadly combination of conflict and cyclical climate events—including drought, flooding, and locust infestations—has forced many Somalis from their homes. People flee the country every day, and most of Somalia’s internally displaced people have lived in a state of crisis for years, lacking basic services and opportunities to rebuild their lives.

What Must Be Done?

Refugees International is urging the international community to provide funding and technical assistance to help displaced Somalis rebuild their lives. Neighboring countries, including Kenya, must also do their part in upholding the rights of Somali refugees.
