The U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigration sent out an e-mail early this week to notify the people on its mailing list that Mtabila refugee camp in Tanzania is to remain open through the end of September.

Lavinia Límon of USCRI stated:

“The Home Affairs Minister [of Tanzania] has even given assurances that no refugee will be forcibly returned and reaffirmed that his government’s commitment to upholding international laws and standards established to protect refugees.”

It seems a lot of people spoke out, and Burundians in Mtabila will have a bit more time to decide how best to proceed, whether to return to Burundi or find another viable option.
