🚨 UPTODATE: Kenya Police Shoot Four Refugee Protesters, One Critical
-Kenyan police shot at least four peaceful refugee protesters in #Kakuma on March 3rd, leaving one in critical condition.
-Refugees were protesting the severe lack of water and food in the camps when police used teargases and live ammunition to disperse the crowd.
-KANERE has verified the occurrence through eyewitness accounts.
-This incident raises two important questions:
1. Do refugees in Kenya have the right to peacefully protest?
2. Can the police be held accountable for their excessive use of force against the vulnerable population? @hrw@amnesty
-The situation remains tense with a curfew imposed, until further notice!

-Stay tuned for critical updates! Pic: Cr.

How do displaced women contribute to peace?
Our article "‘We are creating peace’: Everyday peace practices of displaced women in Kenya and Germany", co-authored with @UlrikeKrause and @EdlerHannah, has been published.
https://t.co/YiPjYZFM80
In the article we explore the variety of practices interlocutors employ to foster peace in their daily environments, emphasising that promoting peace is not an extraordinary endeavour but an integral part of their everyday life.
I am pleased to share @UlrikeKrause @EdlerHannnah and my analysis of peace perceptions from our research in #Kakuma and Germany as part of the project "Women, Forced Migration – and Peace?" funded by @dsfrieden
Thank you to all who participated and supported the project!
What meanings do people with lived experience of conflict & displacement ascribe to peace?
@NSegadlo, @EdlerHannah & I explore this in "Making sense of peace in exile" with an intersectional approach in @Peacebuilding_.

Quite a timely article by @UlrikeKrause and @NSegadlo, published at a time when a recent report by @Openly quoted Kenya's refugee Commissioner @DRSKenya saying that sexual minorities have no special rights on his watch.
Our article, 'Surviving Exile. Queer Displaced People’s Lived Experiences of Aid, Risks and Coping in Kakuma,' co-authored with @NSegadlo, has been published #openaccess in Gender Issues.

Wonderful panel “Violence/Conflict and Solidarity/Participation in Refugee Shelters in Europe and the World: Current Political and Societal Challenges and Opportunities”and inspiring exchange with @ClaudiaBhme3, @Yvette_Ruzibiza and Shirin Tinnesand at #DeZIM_Conference
Food rations have been reduced another time this year for the month of October in #Kakuma, #Kalobeyei and #Dadaab with tremendous effects on the residents who already face extreme hardships
Reduction of Food Rations Alert 🚨
October 2024 Cycle - Key Messages to the refugee camps in Kenya:
- World Food Program @WFP_Kenya says it will reduce the food distribution rations from 60% to 40% of the food basket in both #Kakuma, #Dadaab and #Kalobeyei due to what it termed as recent increases in the number of refugees (new arrivals), and baby registration; delays in arrival of a vessel from US contribution among others.
- Bamba Chakula will reduce from KES 795/= to KES 450/=
- Aid beneficiaries are advised to receive their rations on the day the family size is allocated!!

Great honor to be able to participate in the Swedish Political Science Association’s annual conference #SWEPSA2024 at @umeauniversity and having great discussions in the International Politics working group
@UlrikeKrause@EOlivius@umeauniversity Thank you so much! That would indeed be wonderful. I’m looking very much forward to more opportunities for further discussions with both of you together
I am truly impressed by the collegial atmosphere at the university, the open and welcoming environment at the department and the lovely city I get to explore.
I currently have the privilege to do a research stay with @EOlivius at the Department of Political Science at @umeauniversity in the Peace and Conflict Research Group

It is a fantastic opportunity to present my work to colleagues of the @VOPeaceNetwork, having inspiring discussions and meeting scholars whose work I have been reading and following for the past years.
Haben mit etlichen Kommunen, #Bundespolizei,Fachleuten gesprochen,die Erkenntnis bleibt beim Thema #Asyl#Flucht:Die gefühlten Wahrheiten,ordentlich gepusht von einigen Politikern,verdrängen die Fakten und bestimmen das Klima.Die #AfD darf zufrieden sein. https://t.co/KsgpQj5DmG
Together with @ochieng_ogutu and Ismail Ismail I reflect on Kenya’s #ShirikaPlan for hosting refugees and raise questions about its potential implications, especially for refugees in Kenya.
Looking forward to more discussions on this approach
New post in the Forced Migration Studies Blog! “Beyond hype and hope: Unpacking the uncertainties about Kenya's Shirika Plan for hosting refugees” by Nadine Segadlo, Gordon Ogutu and Ismail Ismail has just been published.
https://t.co/fRFAFJyD6V
In the piece we argue that the approach, at least as currently revealed, resembles a black box that fosters uncertainties for refugees in Kenya, exacerbating their already precarious living conditions
What’s beyond the hype of Kenya’s #ShirikaPlan for hosting refugees? Together with @ochieng_ogutu and Ismail Ismail I reflect on the approach and raise questions about its potential implications, especially for refugees in Kenya.
