Camp Occupants: Country and Refugee Influxes

camp occupants: Ruiz said the camp occupants had been demanding for months to be moved to a third country, but no one would take them, according to Globe and Mail. Congo's government, mindful of threats to its stability from past refugee influxes, and from the armed groups that frequently roam its lawless east, is also keen to move them. The United Nations estimates about 3 million South Sudanese have been uprooted by the violence in their country, the biggest cross-border exodus in Africa since the 1994 Rwandan genocide. On Friday, eight of them agreed to be repatriated to South Sudan's capital Juba. They're saying if the eight were transferred to South Sudan, why shouldn't we be able to go to a third country Ruiz said. Others fear going back and are frustrated at being confined in the tiny camp in eastern Congo. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
