Scattered: The making and unmaking of a refugee

In 2015, Aamna Mohdin travelled to Calais where she reported on the frontline of Europe’s refugee crisis for The Guardian newspaper. On returning to London, she told her parents what she had seen and was surprised when they asked her if she had forgotten the time when she herself had been a refugee. Aamna’s early childhood, which was disrupted by civil war in Somalia and a period lived in a refugee camp, changed at the age of seven when she arrived in Britain. After listening to her parents account of the lives they had built in the newly independent Somalia and the impact of the civil war, Aamna flew to the country of their birth before retracing their flight to Kenya and the Kakuma refugee camp, the site of a very present refugee crisis that has been decades in the making.
