What event marks Omar's family's displacement to Kenya?

• A. A drought that forced migration
• B. The outbreak of civil war and violence in Somalia that forces them to flee to the Dadaab refugee camps in Kenya
• C. A natural disaster in Kenya
• D. A new government policy

Answer: (B)

Displacement in this story is driven by conflict, not by drought or policy. Omar’s family leaves Somalia because civil war and the violence there force them to flee across the border to seek safety in Kenya. They end up in the Dadaab refugee camps, which are set up to host people fleeing conflict like theirs. This shows how war can create refugees who must abandon their homes and seek refuge in neighboring countries. The other possibilities—drought, a disaster in Kenya, or a new government policy—don’t reflect the situation described, which centers on escape from violence in Somalia.
