Consider the following statements : 1. Bidibidi is a large refugee settlement in north-western Kenya. 2. Some people who fled from South Sudan civil war live in Bidibidi. 3. Some people who fled from civil war in Somalia live in Dadaab refugee complex in Kenya. Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

A
1 and 2
B
2 only
C
2 and 3
Correct Answer
D
3 only

Explanation

Option (c) is correct because Bidibidi was established to host refugees fleeing the South Sudanese Civil War, while the Dadaab complex in Kenya is a well-known settlement primarily housing those displaced by the Somali Civil War. Statement 1 is incorrect because Bidibidi is located in north-western Uganda, not Kenya, which makes option (a) the most tempting but incorrect choice. The core concept being tested is the geographical location of major international refugee settlements and their connection to specific regional conflicts.
