Kenya refugee camps: Somalia president warns against closure

Somalia's president has called for "a better way" to bring home refugees from his country, with Kenya insisting that it will go ahead with its plan to close the world's largest refugee camp.

The Dadaab camp is home to more than 300,000 Somalis.

President Hassan Sheik Mohamed told the BBC that forced repatriation was not in the best interests of either country.

Kenya says it wants to close the camp over security concerns, saying attacks on its soil have been planned there.
