Nobel Prize winner, Malala Yousafzai has urged the Kenyan government to allow Somali schoolgirls to remain in the country so as to further their education.
Malala said that the girls risk losing out greatly on education to become child brides if they are compelled to leave the world's largest Dadaab refugee camp.
Speaking at the Dadaab Camp on Tuesday, Malala issued that there are not enough schools in Somalia nation, a factor that is set to be heightened by insecurity.
"The big problem is that there are never enough schools in Somalia country. If the girls do not get to attend school, then they may get married at an early age and the same could have happened to me if had not gone to school," Malala told the Thomson Reuters Foundation in Dadaab.
The Pakistani teenage educational activist who survived a fatal attack by the Taliban militias in 2012, spent her 19th birthday on Tuesday in the Dadaab camp, which the Kenyan government intends to close by December 2016, citing security concerns.
