Press Release

Oh! You Heads of State You Cannot Solve the Refugees’ Crisis; Only the Khilafah "Caliphate" Will Provide the Long-Term Solution Urgently Needed

Heads of State who are members of Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) convened in Kenya’s’ Capital Nairobi to discuss the plight of refugees. The special summit also attended by international leaders and stakeholders who together endorsed ‘a regional durable solution’ for Somali refugees. The summit comes when already there are over one million Somalis refugees who are displaced within the East and Horn of Africa region particularly in Kenya which has stopped registration of new refugees. Additionally, Kenya is planning to shut down the Daadab, the largest refugee camp, where tens of thousands of Somali refugees are sheltered. At the same time thousands of citizens in South Sudan are in appalling conditions due to hunger crisis.

We in the Islamic party of Hizb ut Tahrir / Kenya raise the following:

Since 1951 up to this date, the United Nations and other institutions like IGAD have failed to solve the refugee issue. Instead these conferences have turned out to be theatres of issuing statements and lamenting without actions. The conferences have failed as confirmed by UN’s High Commissioner Zaid Ra’ad Hussein in the last summit on refugees held last year when he conceded: “The bitter truth is, this summit was called because we have been largely failing. Failing the long-suffering people of Syria… Failing others in now chronic conflict zones, for the same reason. Failing millions of migrants who deserve far more than lives marked by cradle-to-grave indignity and desperation”.

The main reason for the failure is the invalid capitalist viewpoint on life which is based on the self interests while material gain taking precedence in every issue. That is why we categorical state that the capitalists and all their institutions are never anticipated to provide solutions to such human disasters.

This tragedy whose statistics reveal that today across the world there are estimated 65 million refugees; this has exposed the evil of capitalist states to people who are in such difficulties. Such states pretend to allow Non-Governmental organizations to provide aid to refugees! The disheartening part is that these NGOs themselves are conditioned by the rulers who want aid to be given out depending on their approved level.

Capitalist rulers especially those from western nations are known to be the highest contributors of refugees. It is in the public domain that the western nations are the kindlers of war fires across the world to perpetuate neocolonialism politically and economically. As for Africa, it is crystal clear the West incited nations in the continent to fight amongst themselves and ultimately causing people to be refugees. Now we are asking, “How can the same financiers of war be concerned with refugees?”

We state that it is only Islam under the the Islamic state of Khilafah "Caliphate" established on the Method of Prophethood that will be able to solve this refugee issue for good. Islam is contrary to Capitalism since human life takes precedence and not benefit. Khilafah "Caliphate" (Caliphate) is not expected to view any disaster by organizing long meetings which lack meaning. By implementing Islam is when the Khalifah Bayazeed ordered for a ship to go and rescue Jewish citizens who were banished by the Spain authority in 1492 CE. This is just one amongst many that were implemented by Khilafah "Caliphate" whose destruction is the reason the world is engulfed with calamities and its return is the long-term solution to all problems in the world.
