Consider the following statements: 1. Bidibidi is a large refugee settlement in north-western Kenya. 2. Some people who fled from South Sudan civil war live in Bidibidi. 3. Some people who fled from civil war in Somalia live in Dadaab refugee complex in Kenya. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A1 and 2
B2 only
C2 and 3
D3 only
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 2 and 3
Answer: C. Statements 2 and 3 are correct; Statement 1 is wrong. Statement 1 is WRONG. BIDIBIDI is a large refugee settlement, but it is located in NORTH-WESTERN UGANDA (Yumbe district), NOT KENYA. Bidibidi opened in 2016 and became one of the world's largest refugee settlements, hosting predominantly South Sudanese refugees. Statement 2 is CORRECT. BIDIBIDI primarily hosts refugees who FLED THE SOUTH SUDAN CIVIL WAR that erupted in December 2013. At its peak, Bidibidi sheltered over 270,000 South Sudanese refugees. Statement 3 is CORRECT. The DADAAB REFUGEE COMPLEX is located in eastern Kenya (Garissa County), near the Somali border. Dadaab opened in 1991 and primarily hosts SOMALI REFUGEES fleeing the prolonged Somali civil war. It was once the world's largest refugee complex, with over 500,000 residents at peak; it remains one of the largest globally. The trick is geographic: Bidibidi is Ugandan, not Kenyan; Dadaab is correctly Kenyan. Source: UNHCR Global Trends Reports / UN OCHA refugee settlement data.
