rs. Since two weeks the Kenyan Government speaks of closing all refugee camps by the end of July 2008. I was interested to see how the situation is on place and went to the camp in Nakuru City this afternoon. At the entrance policemen told me not to take any photos. So I took another way from behind and asked one of the guards there if it is possible to have a look inside and take some pictures. He said that he doesn't see a problem. I continued my conversation and learned that 2500 refugees left the camp but still the majority of more than 14,000 people is still here and is not willing to leave. He also told me that it is not very safe here, especially in the nights. He always prays for protection. I gave him 100 Schilling (=ca 2 $) to get some food. He thanked me and said he will buy something to take home for his family - he has a wife and three children.
