Some 4,350.00 Angolan citizens who as refugees in DR Congo and Zambia were last year repatriated to the eastern Province of Moxico by the UNHCR and the Government, said Wednesday the provincial director of the Ministry of Welfare and Social Reintegration (Minars), Alberto Calumbi.
In the same period, said the source, about 184 returned home voluntarily through the bordering municipalities of Luau, Alto-Zambeze and Bundas.
He also informed that the voluntary repatriation process, which was interrupted in November due to the rains befalling this region, will resume in the dry season.
Without mentioning numbers, Alberto Calumbi said that in the referred two neighbouring countries there are a lot of Angolans who have manifested the will to come home.
In the current year, the Ministry of Welfare and Social Reintegration will continue to support the returnees and other vulnerable groups.
