Consider the following statements:
1. Bidibidi is a large refugee settlement in north-western Kenya.
2. Some people who fled from South Sudan civil war live in Bidibidi.
3. Some people who fled from civil war in Somalia live in Dadaab refugee complex in Kenya.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct Answer :
2 and 3
Solution :
The correct option is 2 and 3.
Let us analyze each statement step-by-step to understand why statements 2 and 3 are correct, while statement 1 is incorrect:
Statement 1 is incorrect:
Bidibidi is indeed a very large refugee settlement, but it is located in northwestern Uganda (specifically in the Yumbe District), not in Kenya. It was opened in 2016 to host refugees fleeing the civil war in South Sudan and quickly became one of the largest refugee settlements in the world.
Statement 2 is correct:
Bidibidi was established specifically to accommodate the massive influx of refugees fleeing the violence and civil war in neighboring South Sudan. Therefore, many people who fled the South Sudanese civil war live in the Bidibidi settlement.
Statement 3 is correct:
The Dadaab refugee complex is located in eastern Kenya, near the border with Somalia. Established in the early 1990s, it has historically hosted hundreds of thousands of Somali refugees who fled the civil war and ongoing conflict in Somalia. Therefore, it is correct that people who fled the civil war in Somalia live in the Dadaab complex.
In conclusion, since statement 1 is false, and statements 2 and 3 are true, the correct choice is 2 and 3.
