<p>Mr Mohamud, who is one of the seven co-chairs at this year’s World Economic Forum, explained how 185,000 people from 10 different nationalities are confined in Kenya’s Kakuma camp with very little chance of getting out and making a life for themselves.</p>

<p>Refugee camps, he said, “are not ethical” and “not conducive to human growth”.</p>
<p>Mr Mohamud, 28, said he wants to use his position as a WEF co-chair to “demystify” the refugee experience.</p>
<p><em>“We’re not criminals,”</em> he said. <em>“It’s not a crime to flee your country … I don’t know what you’re all afraid of.”</em></p>
