Meaning of Kakuma

Kakuma is the swahili word for "nowhere" i do not think that is accurate — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.215.83.201 (talk) 11:28, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

I agree, however it's properly sourced. The threshold for inclusion on Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. I did some googling and Swahili-English dictionary checking and could not find a meaning for the word Kakuma, nor did I find any information to support the assertion that it means 'nowhere'. However, I did find some writings that mentioned people being told that it means 'nowhere', which means this isn't a fringe idea. I have changed the wording to neutrally reflect the fact that it's been asserted, but is not necessarily true. BigNate37_(T) 20:00, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Unsourced Information

A VAST amount of this article is entirely unsourced, and I'm not sure where to even start on clearing through it without cutting down its scope dramatically. Entire sections have no citation whatsoever (See 'Food', 'Security', 'Justice', 'Economy', etc.). Only 13 citations for an article of this size screams WP:NRSNVNA. gingerlines (talk) 13:20, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
