dc.description.abstractThis study was an assessment of the socioeconomic impact of the Ethio – Eritrea war that took place between 1998-2000 and the subsequent stand off until the 2018 peace agreement between the two Countries. The study adopted case study and ethnographic research design. The researcher used both qualitative and quantitative method as the approach to understand the socio-economic beliefs and experiences of Eritrean refugees in Nairobi, Kenya. Primary data was collected using FGDs and Questionnaires. Secondary data was gathered through the review and analysis of journals, books, academic papers, and other available materials on conflict and migration. The findings illustrate that there are a number of social and economic challenges facing many of the citizens of Eritrea. This can be attributed to the various policies that were introduced by the government of Eritrea which has hampered the human rights of many Eritreans. Eritrean refugees in Nairobi also face various economic and social challenge, obtaining formal employment can be challenging for refugees due to legal restrictions, language barriers, lack of recognized qualifications, and discrimination. The other critical issue tied to their economic status is that, many of the Eritrean refugees’ encounter challenges related to legal status and documentation. Issues such as lack of valid identification cards, refugee status determination, or residency permits can affect their access to essential services, employment opportunities, and protection under the law. The study recommends, the government of Eritrea to be the guardian of the rights of its citizens by upholding the rights of each individual regardless of their political or social inclination. The persecution of people based on their political or religious convictions must stop, so that the diversity of Eritreans can flourish for the benefit of the nation.
