This essay aims to explore the economic, social, and political factors that lead to forced migration from South Sudan and Somalia to Kenya, as well as the consequences for both the forced migrants and the wider society. By analyzing the impacts and responses to forced migration, we can gain a comprehensive understanding of its complexities and contribute to a global dialogue on addressing this issue and the development of effective and sustainable responses. The central research question for this study is: What are the economic, social, and political consequences of forced migration in Kenya for both forced migrants and the wider society? To answer this question, I will provide a historical context of forced migration from South Sudan and Somalia to Post-independent Kenya, explore the political, economic, and environmental factors that precipitate forced migration, delve into the consequences experienced by forced migrants, and examine the response of the Kenyan government to this phenomenon.
