"According to UN Development Programme figures for 2004, Kenya, with an annual GDP per capita of around US $1000, hosts a quarter of a million refugees from various countries. From east to west, northern Kenya has common borders with Somalia, Ethiopia and Sudan. All three countries have experienced serious political crises and armed conflicts in the past 20 years. Millions of their nationals have fled their homes, and hundreds of thousands have sought refuge in Kenya, their comparatively stable neighbour." (IRIN NEWS SERVICE) This article addresses "some of the difficulties, and even resentment, felt by Kenya concerning the continued stay of refugees within their borders, and its reluctance to host large numbers of refugees indefinitely."
