A Refugee Issue to Watch! Somalis Staying Put in Kenya, Wait for Resettlement

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 1 Comment

As I mentioned last month, the Kenyan government wants the United Nations to close the massive camp—Dadaab—soon!

UN camp daddab
Dadaab houses nearly a quarter of a million mostly Somalis who won’t go home.

The UN is between a rock and a hard place after trying and failing to get large numbers of Somalis to go home to an increasingly stable country (well, stable for Somalia!), while Europe and the US have wearied of moving Somalis to the West.
As you know President Trump has nearly stopped the resettlement of Somalis to your towns and cities (a few are still trickling in!).

If Trump is no longer in office come January 2021, you know a future Democrat President will open the Somali spigot wide to make up for the ‘Trump lost years.’

So keep an eye on Kenya!

Minnesota: Trial Opens in Case of Somali Police Officer who Killed Unarmed Woman

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 9 Comments

And, get this, Mohamed Noor’s defense attorney brought up the Somali police officer’s early life in a refugee camp in Kenya, and Minnesota Public Radio makes a point of mentioning the makeup of the jury—half are white and half are “people of color” with several immigrants among the jury members.  Sickening the way this is being set-up!
If you are new to this story, see my post at Refugee Resettlement Watch from last year. There are links to follow for a review of the news that Noor killed Australian Justine Ruszczyk  (sometimes referred to as Damond, her fiance’s name) when he says he feared for his and his partner’s safety.

Shock! Fraud and Corruption Rampant in UN Refugee Resettlement Program

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 6 Comments

And, an even bigger shock is that NBC is featuring this lengthy investigation into charges of corruption, fraud and bribery in the agency that selects refugees for your American towns and cities.
Featured in what is billed as a first installment of a seven-month-long investigation is Africa and specifically Somali resettlement from the huge camp, Dadaab, run by the UNHCR, that I mentioned in a post here recently.

Dadaab, featured in this corruption story, is the mostly Somali ‘refugee’ camp run by the UNHCR and was once home to Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar

 
It is a huge story both in impact and in its length, so I’ve snipped a bit here for you to get the gist of it.
Money, and lots of money, helps ‘refugees’ move to the head of the line and in this opening segment we learn that a likely crook is living in Minnesota (I know don’t laugh!).

"Seattle man" (a Somali Refugee) Will Stand Trial for Attempting to Run Down Jews Near LA Synagogue

He doesn’t hate Jews. He is just a nut in need of mental health treatment says his family.
And, that would be mental health treatment paid for by the taxpayers of ‘welcoming’ America?

You might remember this story when it made national news last year.  But, this week the court determined that Mohamed would stand trial for attempted murder with hate crime allegations.

Alert: Kenya to Close One of the Largest Refugee Camps in the World

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 2 Comments

That would be Dadaab—home to hundreds of thousands of Somalis and a place where the US government has gone to select Somalis to bring to America.

Although, under President Trump very few Somalis are getting into the US these days, this is a story worth watching because you know that the United Nations will be pressuring our State Department to up the Somali numbers using the closing of a significant camp as the excuse.
If Trump doesn’t win reelection in 2020 the trickle could be a flood from Dadaab to your town.
The Kenyan government has long maintained that the camp is a breeding ground for Islamic extremists and it points to recent terror attacks in Kenya linked to Dadaab residents.
