Kenya has told the International Community to support its move to close the Dadaab refugee camp and channel finances in resettling the refugees back to Somalia. "Kenya has used its own resources for many years to support refugees and help stabilise Somalia. Deputy President William Ruto told the World Humanitarian Summit attended by UN Secretary General Ban ki-Moon and other world leaders that the camp had become a burden to Kenya. "The camp was a security threat, a haven for terrorism and conduit of contraband goods as well as a danger to the environment" he said.
