Tanzania will close Nduta Refugee Camp, affecting over 50,000 Burundian refugees who have lived there for more than a decade. Authorities have demolished parts of the camp, leaving hundreds without shelter. Médecins Sans Frontières warned that forced or poorly managed returns could endanger lives and urged officials to ensure repatriation remains voluntary and informed. The government also plans to close Nyarugusu Camp by March 31, 2026.
