160 Liberians leave for home

One hundred and sixty Liberian refugees at Sanzule Camp in the Western Region on Friday, left the camp voluntarily for Liberia to join their families. The exercise was the first promotional repatriation organised by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) at the Sanzule Camp. The repatriation started at 5 a.m. when the refugees were moved from the Camp to assemble at a point for screening and medication after their ration cards had been retrieved from them by officials of the National Mobilisation Programme (NMP).
