It seems Saado is the only somali artist that is raising the profile of the current famine crisis
The Somali refugee crisis is worsening by the day as thousands of people displaced by conflict are crossing into Kenya and Ethiopia.
The majority of these refugees end up at the Dadaab refugee camp, the largest in the world, hosting half a million Somali refugees and counting. Located in Kenya near the Somali border, Somali refugees in this camp live in squalid conditions and require immediate resettlement in western nations that are signitories of the Geneva Convention.
Superstar Saado Ali Warsame, Somalia's most iconic artist and international figure and the Somali Refugee Awareness Project led by Hodan Nalayeh, are in Nairobi, Kenya, today, for a press conference to raise awareness on the humanitarian crisis and drum up international support for Somali refugees.
Both Saado Ali and Hodan They have recently held discussions with Honourable Farah Maalim, the Deputy Speaker of the Kenya Parliament. Mr. Maalim is also the MP for Lagdera constituency in the Garissa county.
