REFUGEES ARE RETURNING TO SOMALIA

Geneva (AFP) - Refugees are still returning home voluntarily under a UN programme, after more than 900,000 fled in 1991 and 1992, a UNHCR spokesman said yesterday.

Since December, it has recorded more than 9,000 returns with a further 6,000 in Kenya signed up to go home. Last year 60,000 were repatriated.
