[Kipsang Joseph,Standard]Experts from across the continent have converged at a conference seeking to build on solutions to internal displacement in Africa. While the issue of refugees has received significant attention, that of internal displacements remains largely unattended,” Prof Kiplagat said. He said Kenya had experienced the problem of internal displacements, which arose from the 2007/2008 post-election violence. “We continue to also have internal displacement due to the unprocedural eviction of squatters, internal conflicts and natural disasters such as floods,” he added. This conference is engineering intellectual conversations to building solutions to internal displacement in Africa,” added Dr Adeola.
