The United Nations (UN) has been faulted for failing to amicably protect the refugees from repatriation.
After the meeting that saw UN back Kenya in the move to repatriate refugees, UN has been faulted for failing to protect the rights of the minority group.
Human rights activist, Zedi Mbadi said the UN was the only hope in advocating for the staying of the refugees in the country or their extension but they have failed them.
“We have sent the refugees to their own grave. With all the women and young children in those camps where will they go and begin? How will they cope up?” she said.
“The United Nations has failed the refugees. This was their last only hope which is now shattered and there is no going back,” said Mbadi.
Through a press statement, the UN backed Kenya on the repatriation exercise saying they understood Kenya’s decision to close down the refugee camps.
