Horn of Africa drought: Kenya row over Somali refugees
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-14144893

A row has broken out in Kenya's government over the huge influx of Somalis fleeing the region's worst drought in 60 years.

About 370,000 Somalis are at an over-crowded camp and the government is divided over opening a second camp.

One minister said a new camp would encourage more Somalis to cross the border.

Another minister, however, said he was "embarrassed" that Kenya was refusing to give more help to refugees.
