DRC/Burundi: Flow of refugees from DRC to Burundi slows, UN agency says

The flow of refugees from the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) into Burundi has slowed considerably and some Congolese have gone back home without official help, but the area has not calmed down sufficiently to make "facilitated repatriation" advisable, the United Nations refugee agency said. Refugees who arrived in Burundi after distributions of food and sanitary materials have cited food shortages as their reason for returning to the DRC.
