From IRIN, the story of a Somalia refugee that still experiences human rights abuses in Kenya.
Asha Abdul*, a single mother of five, can put up with the rubbish and appalling roads connecting the modern shopping malls in Eastleigh, a suburb east of Nairobi’s central business district, as long as she is not questioned about her status in Kenya.
“Sisi ni Waria [Swahili for 'we are Somalis']; we don’t like attracting attention to ourselves by complaining about poor services,” Abdul said on 7 April as she fried samosas for sale outside her house in Eastleigh.
She had just paid Ksh1,500 (US$20), required of every tenant on her street, to pay some young men to deliver two lorry loads of stones to cover the dilapidated road outside their homes.
“If we don’t pay these young men to bring the stones, then the muddy water flows into our homes, especially when there is heavy rain,” Abdul said.
