Ethiopia: UN closes camps as refugees return to South Sudan

After 23,000 refugees returned home to South Sudan, the United Nations refugee agency has closed two camps in western Ethiopia. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) announced that it had closed Bonga and Dimma camps after the organization assisted refugees to return, mainly to Blue Nile state in South Sudan. Last week’s closures bring to three the number of camps which have been emptied in western Ethiopia since last year.
