Kenya Asks the UN to Shut Down Refugee Camp for Somalis

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/kenya-asks-shut-refugee-camp-somalis-30265433


A refugee camp in is east Kenya is currently serving as a recruitment area for the extremist group al-Shebab. Last week, al-Shebab gunned down roughly 150 people at a university, all in the name of retribution for the Kenyan government's deployment of troops in Somalia to bring down the group back in October of 2011.

As a result of all of this mayhem and destruction, the Kenyan government is asking the United Nations High Commission for Refugees to close the camp, and to send the 400,000 Somalians living there back to their homes.
