“…Mogire concludes that achieving such a balance would thus necessitate refugees to be conceptualized as victims of insecurity, and their plight is defined as a humanitarian issue in which partnership of the international community with host communities is key. Burgess (2010) and Karatrantos (2021) examine the intersections between migration and national security determinants of immigration policy after September 11, 2001, and subsequent terrorist attacks in Kampala, Nairobi, and Paris as well as rising cases of sexual assault in Cologne, Germany in 2015. Both studies arrive at a similar conclusion that these incidents influenced a security-oriented approach by the EU to forced migrants.…”

This article explores forced migration and policy transition in East Africa using the case study of Kenya-a key regional destination for forced migrants. Using a descriptive and historical approach to highlight the dynamics of forced migration , the study emphasizes on what factors underlie the change of policy from integration to encampment. The author argues that central to this transition are discourses on national security, domestic, and regional politics. Using the theory of securitization, the study finds that assumptive blames on forced migrants expose them to greater vulnerabilities, while failure to recognize the challenges facing host states also undermines the management of forced migrants. The author concludes that the principles of global cosmopolitanism should underlie response and that when critical national interests necessitate stricter limitations on the extent to which forced migrants can enjoy certain rights and freedoms, then the international community must strive to play a greater role to minimize risks to both host nations and forced migrants.
