    UNHCR estimates that some 2,000 Hutu refugees have recently crossed back into the country from Masisi in eastern DRC. Of these, some 25 percent are believed to be old caseload refugees from 1994 whom UNHCR intends to register in the coming days. “There have been ongoing and spontaneous returns from that area for some time,” a UN official told IRIN today.
