Thousands of refugees in camps in northern and eastern Kenya face an uncertain future, following a new security law that drastically limits the number of refugees that can live in or enter the country.
The controversial Security Laws (Amendments) Act 2014, passed by Kenya’s Parliament last December, limits the total number of refugees to a mere 150,000 – less than a quarter of the more than 600,000 currently sheltering in the country.
