Portrait of Abdi Mohammed Magan, 55 years old.
Abdi is hypertensive and gets his medication at the MSF Dagahaley hospital.
He is local host resident at Borehole 2 Dagahaley Location.

Before the arrival of refugees, he was keeping livestock only. Things were good, livestock much healthier, and population much less. When refugees came, more trees were cut, grazing land became scarce and livestock died. To benefit from the assistance from organisations, he registered his children as refugees allowing them an opportunity to attend school and get food and medical care.
He says:
"Now, if the camps closes and our children are in the refugee database, what happens to them? These children should be removed from the database.

Return to Somalia should be voluntary or the refugees should be resettled elsewhere or solutions should be provided here."
Abdi welcomes integration.

His messages to stakeholders: "Population is severely affected by the drought, services for refugees have dwindled and must be increased and there are a lot of undocumented refugees who must be registered in order to receive ration card.

Most important thing is peace. The most important place for anyone is their home."
