(ERGO) – Landowners in Baidoa have forcibly evicted more than 160 displaced families from a camp where they had initially invited them to settle, leaving them struggling without income or access to basic needs.
The families were given no notice to prepare to leave Iraroog camp and had to leave everything behind. The camp had been developed with access to free water, healthcare and education services.
Abdirahman Ali Isaaq lost the small shop where he sold assorted goods and vegetables, which earned him $3 to $5 a day and supported his family of nine.
“The businesses we relied on have been destroyed. We used to have three meals a day, but now even one meal is difficult. We are facing hardship and distress,” he complained.
