Where are the men of Dadaab? - Features - Al Jazeera English

Where are the men of Dadaab? - Features - Al Jazeera English: "The wind hollers, whipping up dust that scratches at our faces. As I fumble with my notebook, a thorny branch of the drought-resistant Mathenge tree hits me in the face and Yaroy Sirat Muhammed, with an infant in her arm, immediately reaches out to hold the wayward stem so that it doesn't happen again.

I thank her sheepishly and urge her not to bother, but she does not let it go.

Yaroy is a Somali refugee, temporarily pulled out of a queue of hundreds of others who are waiting to complete the registration process at the IFO camp in the Dadaab refugee complex in Kenya, to talk to me.

We sit down while she tells me her story"
