Over the past five years more than 25,000 African have arrived in Australia under the federal government's humanitarian resettlement program. Some have spent a decade or more in refugee camps in remote regions of East Africa: years of inadequate food, enforced inactivity and the threat of violence. Hundreds of thousands are still stranded in the camps. Australia is one of only a dozen western countries that resettle refugees recommended by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. But how fair is the resettlement process? Does it always - as Amanda Vanstone and her predecessor, Philip Ruddock, insist - help the neediest of all refugees?Drawing on interviews with refugees, policymakers, officials and aid workers in Nairobi, Kakuma, Geneva, Canberra and Melbourne, this book looks at the opportunities and obstacles facing refugees whose homeland is in turmoil and whose country of first refuge is ill-equipped to offer a long-term home. Focusing on experiences of refugees who have fled to Kenya from Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia, this book looks at how the international resettlement system works, how it has helped many displaced people, and how some refugees can find the barriers to resettlement too great to overcome.
