  • Adow Ibrahim Ali (left) and Fatuma Isaac Ar (center), Community Peace and Security Team members in the Dagahaley refugee camp, part of the huge Dadaab refugee complex in northeastern Kenya, talk with a woman about difficulties in the neighborhood. Already the world's world's largest refugee settlement, Dadaab has swelled in recent weeks with tens of thousands of recent arrivals fleeing drought in Somalia. The Lutheran World Federation, a member of the ACT Alliance, is manager of the camp, and sponsors the Community Peace and Security Teams in all three Dadaab camps. The teams, composed of volunteer refugees, mediate many ordinary conflicts, but refer violent crimes such as rape or murder to Kenyan police.

  • Roxana Corrales, National Network of Women Defenders of Human Rights.<br />
<br />
"Our network is made up of women, we work on defence of our natural resources, that belong to everyone, and we work on reproductive and sexual rights.<br />
<br />
At the moment we are defending the rights of people to protest. We’ve seen aggressions against people demonstrating, who use their legitimate right to protest, they are shot at with teargas, and with live rounds, they are detained illegally. So, there is a strong need for accompaniment by human rights defenders, that’s why we’re here.<br />
<br />
Today for example, there was a cultural activity, a concert, in one of the neighbourhoods that has been heavily repressed. This artistic group decided to support the people of the neighbourhood with a presentation of music and poetry. The police and army have stopped the event. The police arrive and without exchanging words they beat people with batons, shoot teargas at them. So we try to mediate, and to document what happens. <br />
<br />
Today there were maybe 100 people who’d come to sing, but the Army, Cobra units [riot police], the Police and the Military Police arrived, around 300 of them, to disperse the people, to stop the singing and poetry. The people ran away, they are intimidated by the armed forces."

  • Adow Ibrahim Ali (right) and Fatuma Isaac Ar (second from right), Community Peace and Security Team members in the Dagahaley refugee camp, part of the huge Dadaab refugee complex in northeastern Kenya, talk with a woman about difficulties in the neighborhood. Already the world's world's largest refugee settlement, Dadaab has swelled in recent weeks with tens of thousands of recent arrivals fleeing drought in Somalia. The Lutheran World Federation, a member of the ACT Alliance, is manager of the camp, and sponsors the Community Peace and Security Teams in all three Dadaab camps. The teams, composed of volunteer refugees, mediate many ordinary conflicts, but refer violent crimes such as rape or murder to Kenyan police.
