Скачать или смотреть Uzbekistan - Tajik refugees repatriated

(25 Oct 1997) T/I: 11:26:01


Three hundred Tajik refugees crossed the Afghan border on Saturday (25/10) as part of a United Nations repatriation programme. They crossed from Afghanistan into Uzbekistan. In Uzbekistan they will board a train that will take them home to Tajikistan. They are the first of over 7,000 refugees stranded in camps in north Afghanistan to return to home to Tajikistan. The refugees escaped the brutal Tajik civil war in 1992. Each refugee was given 50 kilograms of wheat and 3 litres of sunflower oil to tide them over until they can get back to a semblance of "normal life". Some Tajik refugees have already arrived home. Many have found their homes destroyed. Some are also returning to discover their relatives dead and living conditions almost unbearable, with poverty and infection levels at a record high in one of the world's poorest countries.
