In Limbo: Dependency, Insecurity, and Identity amongst Somali Refugees in Dadaab Camps.

This article examines the situation of the 130,000 Somalis in their second decade in Dadaab camps in Kenya, with a focus on the role and responsibilities of the refugee regime and the host state. Research found that refugees’ dependency on inadequate aid is due to lack of alternative livelihoods rather than “dependency syndrome.”
