Refugees in Extended Exile: Living on the Edge Jennifer Hyndman and Wenona Giles * - Catherine-Lune Grayson

Chronic violence has characterized Somalia for over two decades, forcing nearly two million people to flee. A significant number have settled in camps in neighboring countries, where children were born and raised.

Nous soutenons ici qu’une culture conviviale s’y est developpee,...
