Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74717, member: 636"] Tanzania's government told Burundian refugees at camps that citizenship isn't happening, and they need to head back home since things have settled down there. Home Affairs Minister George Simbachawene laid it out at a meeting with Burundi and UNHCR reps, saying the camps aren't turning into permanent spots, and refugees shouldn't expect integration into the country's development plans. Burundi's Richard Ndayisaba from their Home Affairs ministry said his country is ready to take people back. UNHCR rep Barbara Dotse confirmed they'll work with everyone to make the return process voluntary and rights-based. Regional commissioners from Kigoma, Katavi, and Tabora showed up since those areas host the refugee populations. [/QUOTE]
