How would Trump’s executive order affect Africa’s refugees? There are hundreds of Somali refugees living in Kenya that were told they could not travel to the US for resettlement. In total, the measure adopted by the Trump Administration affects up to 26,000 Somali refugees who were hoping to travel from Kenya. But this didn’t stop Trump labelling Somali refugees in Minnesota – the state with the highest concentration of Somali refugees – as terrorists during his election campaign. In the case of Somali refugees, agencies and governments could request that Kenya delay the closure of Dadaab camp.
