Liberia: UNHCR assists first refugees home to Liberia's Lofa county

In a vote of confidence in Liberia's peace process, the first convoy of Liberian refugees have begun heading home to Lofa county, the hardest-hit area during the 14-year civil war with the largest-scale displacement. 140 Liberian refugees left Guinea's Kouankan camp for Voinjama, the main town in Lofa county, northern Liberia. Most families in the convoy will continue further east to Zorzor district, where the UN refugee agency has set up a transit facility and rehabilitated seven schools and a clinic.
