separating fact from fiction. south africa's soul which will gospel choir hits a number of high notes at the premiers will get reaction to the group's good grammy winner. this year the mass movement of people was the emphasis statistics from the united nations show sub-saharan africa hosts eighteen million forcibly displaced people that's more than a quarter of the world's refugees population now experts say the number is rising because of ongoing conflicts conflicts in countries like in south sudan somalia and now among the top countries hosting refugees in africa is kenya which is home to one of the biggest refugee camps in africa correspondent catherine on one visited

kakuma camp where projects to empower refugees through a settlement scheme has been pinus it. jennifer in the role fled south to that in two thousand and sixteen with three of her six children now she lives here in ca to be its part of the kakuma refugee camp in the remote and arid region of northern kenya and it's also where jennifer calls home. so that when i get money i will send the other three children i don't think i will go back to south sudan. there's no stability the idea behind kind of being used to help the refugees become self-sufficient that's why genesis been provided with a semi permanent house a water tank and space for a kitchen garden jennifer also risk east. and eat her food it's not much but jennifer makes to. not far from her place construction is going on kind of being is

getting ready to house more people. but the problem. kakuma refugee camp located in one of kenya's most marginalized areas and some citizens say they don't see the benefits of having the camps here. that's kind of a market james is waiting for a customer the twenty year old a kenyan from a nearby village says he moved here to find work he doesn't think it's fair that the refugees are given help with his village just struggling. mostly because problem is water on a must have it rough. we have to bring them closer to the refugee camp if they are to survive and i've got to tell you the refugees that get water not the house community. i went to all of them and then i got on my. one of the several points and then kind of the host committee only has one function and. sometimes forced to dig wells of the system rather than order to find water

the agreement between the kenyan government and non-governmental organizations working here is a fifty fifty policy that means the local community supposed to get whatever amenities the refugees get the putting that into place seems to be a challenge and i look. i don't even follow that rule even though it's using force and. the hope is that kind of grow into a town the refugees and the host community to live together. maybe that james can start seeing the benefits of having refugees like genocide in his whole area. all right because to. marry again ethnically a school is covering the african union summit for us hi maria good to see you so refugees were at the top of the agenda this year what was the outcome of that discussion so this year summit was forced displacement and the root causes of these
