N2 - This paper understands state efforts in pursuing legitimate sovereignty and security concerns, but also adds the efforts of humanitarian organizations and refugee responses into the analysis. With observations and responses from refugees in East Africa, this paper complements earlier studies stressing refugee perspectives (Peteet, 2005; Carolina and Nyers, 2007; Rebecca, 2010; Rajaram, 2002; Bradley, 2014; Harrell-Bond and Voutira, 2007; Eastmond, 2007). The aim is to go beyond the conventional understanding of refugees as people fleeing persecution from one state and appealing protection in another. Instead the paper proposes a dialectical process of interconnected state actions, humanitarian concerns and refugee reactions- suggesting recurring state-civic dynamics
