More Burundian Refugees Flee to Tanzania/ U.N. Official

Report
— Xinhua
DAR ES SALAAM (Dec. 30) XINHUA - More Burundian refugees are fleeing into Tanzania's west Kigoma Region as the security situation worsens in their homeland, the top official of the U.N. refugee agency in the region said Thursday.
"A total of 12,720 Burundian refugees had arrived in Kigoma by December 29 compared to 5,365 last month," said Marion Roche, head of a sub-office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees in Kigoma.

"The high number this month is probably a reflection of the worsening stability in Burundi," said Roche.
