In Goma

The Zairean government today announced it was closing a refugee camp that is home to almost 2-hundred thousand Rwandan refugees. NPR's Michael Skoler reports that the government is trying to force the refugees to return to Rwanda. Many of them have been living in the camp for more than one year, and Zaire now says it can no longer afford to take care of them.
