Return of 80,000 refugees envisaged next year

    NAIROBI

    “More than 80,000 refugees could be repatriated” to relatively safe areas of Somalia from Ethiopia, Kenya, Yemen and Djibouti during 2000, and a US $32 million reintegration programme was proposed in the UN’s Consolidated Appeal to assist returning refugees - as well as communities of return and internally-displaced persons - and facilitate local recovery efforts. Other priorities identified in the Common Humanitarian Action Plan for 2000 included gaining access to and meeting the emergency needs of vulnerable populations.
