Tror du att Afrika är ett land, bestående av delstater? Vilka länder i Afrika ger asyl till somalier, frågar av nyfikenhet?
Uganda är ett.
"The Nakivale refugee settlement, six hours' drive west of the capital, Kampala, is awe-inspiring.
It stretches for 184 sq km (71 sq miles) and covers rolling hills, fertile fields, a lake and many streams. Dotted around the landscape are small brick or mud houses, some with corrugated irons roofs.
This is home to more than 100,000 people who have been granted refugee status here, and Khadija al-Hassan, who fled the fighting in her home country of Somalia six years ago, is one of them.
The 46-year-old has built a simple home for her and her children and tends a small plot of land where she grows vegetables like carrots, aubergines and chillies.
She likes the life here: "There is no problem in Uganda. Refugees are given houses, food and free education for their children. You can even sleep in the open and no-one will bother you.""
