Drought. The water’s gone.
A forced move to find new homes.
What welcome awaits?
Relocation due to environmental problems can be a dangerous process. Linke et al (2018) interviewed individuals in Kenya who have been forced to relocate as a result of drought. They found that people forced to move are more likely to be victims of violence than the general population. The research also found that such displaced individuals only support the use of violence if they themselves have been victims of violence. This suggests that such migrant populations are unlikely to be the sources of violence unless victimized first.
