Refugees are fleeing strife-torn Somalia for Kenya by the thousands. This strikes me as a recipe for chaos. Kenya’s vast refugee camps, already stretched, will absorb them, but at a tremendous potential cost in health, safety, and lawfulness. The United Nations worries that its food supplies will not be sufficient to cover the needs of the camps. And Kenya is not exactly flourishing right now.
The tumult in stateless Somalia has tremendous ripple effects in what is by most measures the most volatile region in Africa. And the situation in Somalia only continues to get worse, as unimaginable as that might be.
