Namibian churches meet President over Dukwi refugees

The meeting scheduled for February 9, will also discuss the growing differences between the Dukwi refugees and stakeholders such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)  and the governments of Botswana and Namibia.

In a written response to Mmegi, the vice president of CCN, Clem Marais, said his organisation has called the meeting in order to inform attendants about the situation and to “gain their support for an official request to our President, Dr. Hage Geingob, to grant the refugees full amnesty upon their return to Namibia”.
