Somalian Famine Refugees joined By those Avoiding Strife
The new attack on terrorism in Somalia by Kenya has stirred people to flee from Southern Somalia, and many new refugee camps have formed not due to famine, but because of al Shabab's extreme form of Islam forced onto Southern Somalia. "People have a lot to be scared of from al-Shabab, things like beatings and beheadings. My family will have to accept life as refugees until Somalia is safe again," says Ibrahim Ismael Haji, who recently escaped from Somalia with his wife and nine children. An estimated half million Somalis now inhabit refugee camps in Kenya and Ethiopia.
