Angola: Refugees give peace a chance

Last year, UNHCR estimates, some 133 000 Angolans returned from the DRC, Zambia, Namibia and Congo, mostly in the five months before rains make roads impassable. UNHCR is working hard to repatriate over 300 000 Angolans still abroad before the organisation's planned departure from Angola in 2006, the year when national elections are supposed to happen. Foreign donations are dwindling because of diversions to crises in the Middle East and Sudan. Aside from rampant theft, diarrhoea and boredom, food is the cause of most complaints in Luau's transit camp.
