Kenya’s decision to repatriate Somali refugees back to their country is not reversible, President Uhuru Kenyatta has said. The President said if the challenge of Somali refugees is not dealt with now, it could pose a major conflict in the future. He emphasised that Kenya viewed the repatriation of the refugees as one way of stabilising Somalia. The President assured the international community that Kenya will handle the repatriation process in accordance to the international standards, and in the most humane way. He added that the refugee issue is a shared responsibility and hence the international community had a duty to support Kenya in ensuring that Somali refugees are repatriated in the best way possible.
