By this weekend people who fled from Liberia and Angola and remain abroad during the civil wars in both countries will no longer be regarded as refugees by UNHCR and host governments. On June 30, cessation clauses will enter into force for refugees from the two countries.
Thanks a lot friends for all the brainlian comment, my question to the
UNHCR and the International Committee are they also going to send back home
those on Asylum and Resettlement in the Western world like America,
Australia Ect. and by the way how can one spend more than 5 years outside
their home under tension and bring back just like an animal.

This weekend, two of the most protracted refugee situations in Africa will finally come to an end. On June 30, cessation clauses will enter into force for refugees from Liberia and Angola on the basis that these countries have both enjoyed many years of peace and stability after bitter civil wars.

Thousands of Liberian refugees will leave the Ghanaian camp they have lived in for years to an uncertain future back in their country. UNHCR is closing the camp on the grounds that Liberia is now a stable democracy. But is that so?
I believe it is a mistake to forced people who fled from civil unrest and
wars and lived in exile for more than 5 or 10 years anywhere to go back not
on their own accord.
Ghana is part of Africa and if those that are still there feel comfortable
living there,let them live.
I believe wherever you live and life is ok for you,that's your
home.Although there is no place like where your liver string is buried,most
times,life is more important than birthplace.Let them live!UNHCR should be
shame of itself.
Realistically, Ghana is like a home to most Liberian. Not evrywhere you
were born is where yoi belong. If people living in Budumbuam Refugee Camp
in Ghana feel Ghana is their home, let them live. For me, whereever life is
preferable for the living of an indiidual, that place is your home no
matter which part of the world you are. For instance, I live in Minnesota,
U.S.A but I feel confortable living in New York, so I prefer NY to
Minnesota as a home. Please let the Liberian be and let them take care of
their lives as long as they are not creating trouble for the Ghanaian
government. Africa is every black man home, so we as black people should be
allow to live any part of Africa without harassment.
It is true, they are coming home as they ran from the previous 14 yrs civil
unrest. What a humiliation and dehumanization.
I am a liberian who once fled from the war, spend 21-2 yrs now. I
understand now how it is to feel homeless and worse of all to live in
intimidation and severe challenges without your complains been advocated.
We've struggle to even get to eat, talkless about getting complete
education.
Then People who dont have human feelings and senses of understanding come
up with mockery calling these pathetic brethren "wasted years". Only God
knows what they went through and why they stay that long. Liberians have
been use as machandise to invest and upgrade the Ghanaian's economy while
we stave for basic human needs.
Now some are coming and others dont want to. Can you put yourself in their
pains? What would you do after many years in a country as a refugee and
been denied from your absolute right?
The Gov't and people of liberia must be willing to put hands around our
brothers and sisters who are returning, show them love and not mockery, if
you will, help them to rise.
