Lumbala-Nguimbo – Some 78 Angolan refugees that lived in Zambia returned on Thursday to Lumbala-Nguimbo village, in Bundas locality, eastern Moxico Province.
They were transported by planes of the Zambia Air Force, from Mayukuyakwya, Mungo and Solwezi, where they lived for over 20 years as refugees.
ANGOP learnt from a source of the organising commission of the voluntary repatriation that this group joins another one that was in Lumbala-Nguimbo transit centre.
Meanwhile, the consultant of the Angolan Embassy in Zambia, Branca Van-Dúnem, said that by December this year over 10,000 Angolan refugees in that neighbouring country will return to Angola voluntarily.
