Dadaab

Hey!!! Here are some holiday brochure pictures for you. You can travel the world, see some foreign landscapes and meet some interesting people!!! Two pictures of Daddab refugee camp, Kenya. Most Fugees are from Somalia and Ethiopia. Those trekking in from Southern Sudan are not very well represented because most of them died en-route. So when you check-in there's one language that you won't have to bother much about. This is one of three major refugee camps in Kenya. Each camp caters for 400,000 refugees and there are countless thousands who have not managed to get to a camp. Do you remember the phrase "colateral-damage"??? I love that phrase!!! Catastrophic, biblical famines tend not to happen in liberal democracies. They tend to happen in war-torn, tribal, poverty stricken parts of the world which happen to be affected by droughts. Asia is largely monsoon driven, so the seasonal rains which have gone a bit over the top in Thailand recently at least give the people guaranteed rainfall. Even India, outide the monsoon belt is blessed with the melt-waters from the Himalayas. Poor old Africa, from whence we all came has no monsoon, no melt-water and very little liberal democracy. But hey! That's the way it is. You can see here the way extinctions happen. It's simple and brutal. Without UN funds and numerous charities millions of these precious beautiful individuals would be dead.
