Refugees in Kenya and their supporters are hailing a Kenyan court’s decision to temporarily halt a government effort to close two camps in the country.
In March, Kenya’s interior ministry demanded the U.N.’s refugee agency (UNHCR) plan to close the Dadaab and Kakuma camps, which are home to about 400,000 refugees and asylum-seekers — mainly from Somalia and South Sudan. The ruling is the second time a Kenyan court has stopped authorities’ attempts to close the camps. 
Somali Abdullahi Ali, 37, has been living in the Dadaab refugee camp since 1992, when he fled Somalia’s civil war. He met his wife in the camp, and they now have seven children.
