Somalia's President Hassan Sheik Mohamed warned of Kenya's plans to close Dadaab refugee camp, urging the eastern African country adopt more reasonable ways in repatriating refugees.

Earlier this month, the Kenyan government announced that it will close the camp, displacing thousands of its refugees by May 2017.

The first batch of refugees will be displaced in November, in light of economic, security and environmental challenges facing the African country.

Built 20 years ago as a make-shift camp, it hosts some 300,000 Somali refugees.
