VOICED: Fighting in Somalia forces thousands to flee

The Oado refugee camp in Ethiopia, once nearly empty, now sees hundreds of Somali refugees daily due to famine and conflict. The Kenyan and Ethiopian military have intervened in Somalia, exacerbating the situation. Refugees like Ibrahim Mohamed flee due to threats from militants like Al Shabab. The UN cites improved travel conditions and new camps as reasons for increased refugee numbers, but challenges like unfinished facilities persist. Despite the end of droughts, ongoing conflict continues to displace many Somalis, leaving them with an uncertain future.
