Guinea: Liberian repatriation to go ahead despite general strike tensions

The UNHCR reports that the general strike paralysing Guinea over the last two weeks has limited access to camps hosting Liberian refugees. Despite this, the organization planned to go ahead with a voluntary repatriation convoy on the 27th of January which will bring to 46,000 the number of refugees it has helped to return to Liberia from Guinea since the repatriation programme started in October 2004.
