UN news agency IRIN reports that Karago camp will be shut down.

“A camp for Burundian refugees in northwestern Tanzania is due to close in ‘a few weeks’, in efforts to consolidate these facilities as many occupants return home, according to an agreement between Burundi, Tanzania and the UN refugee agency, UNHCR.

The 5,500 refugees at Karago Camp would relocate to the neighbouring Mtendeli Camp towards the end of April.”
