SUBJECT: DR CONGO QUARTERLY REFUGEE REPORT, JUNE 2008 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary:  UNHCR reports repatriation of over 10,600 
Congolese as of June 2008.  There are currently over 338,000 
Congolese refugees in neighboring countries and over 176,000 
refugees from other countries in the DRC.  Repatriation of Congolese 
from Tanzania has recently halted, repatriation from Zambia recently 
began, and repatriation from Uganda is planned to begin within the 
next year.  Sustainable peace is essential to resolve refugee and 
IDP issues in the DRC.  Humanitarian officials are concerned about 
the consequences of any new military offensive in eastern DRC.  End 
Summary. 
 
Return of Congolese refugees to the DRC 
---------------------------------------- 
 
2.  (U) As of mid-June 2008, UNHCR has assisted 6,710 Congolese 
refugees to return to Equateur province, 1,500 to South Kivu 
province, and 2,410 to Katanga province during the year.  There are 
no estimates of non-assisted returns for 2008. 
 
DRC refugees in African countries 
--------------------------------- 
 
3.  (U) UNHCR estimates 338,423 Congolese refugees are currently in 
other African countries.  Tanzania has the largest number, with 
94,942.  Zambia hosts 54,687, Rwanda 50,687, Uganda 39,950, Burundi 
24,400, Republic of Congo 21,768 and Central African Republic 1,825. 
 An additional 50,164 are located in other countries. 
 
Refugees hosted by DRC 
---------------------- 
 
4.  (U) As of April 2008, 176,121 refugees from other countries were 
living in the DRC.  They are from Angola (112,705), Rwanda (28,521), 
Burundi (17,602), Uganda (13,905), Sudan (2,511), Republic of Congo 
(781), Central African Republic (39) and other countries (57). 
 
Congolese IDPs 
-------------- 
 
5.  (U) UNHCR estimates there are currently 1,364,578 IDPs in the 
DRC:  846,699 in North Kivu, 266,140 in Sud Kivu, 152,369 in Ituri 
District, 68,022 elsewhere in Orientale province, and 31,348 in 
Katanga. 
 
Repatriation from Zambia 
------------------------ 
 
6.  (U) The fourth meeting of the Tripartite Commission for 
repatriation of Congolese refugees in Zambia took place April 15-17 
in Lubumbashi.  UNICEF, WHO, and FAO participated as observers.  The 
Commission confirmed plans for voluntary repatriation from Zambia to 
Moba and Kalemie of 19,336 Congolese in 41 convoys, 34 by boat via 
Mpulungu and seven by road via Pweto. 
 
7.  (U) A Tripartite delegation visited camps in Kala and Mwange, 
Zambia April 27-30 to address refugees' questions about security, 
infrastructure, education, health and employment hindering their 
return to the DRC.  Voluntary repatriation began May 2.  UNHCR Moba 
launched 2008 repatriation operations in Nord and Haut Katanga on 
May 4. 
 
Repatriation from Uganda 
------------------------ 
 
8.  (U) The DRC-Uganda-UNHCR Tripartite Technical Working Group met 
for the first time in Kinshasa June 11-12 to begin discussions on an 
agreement for repatriation of Congolese refugees in Uganda.  The 
group agreed on a legal framework for further consultations aimed at 
finalizing an agreement later this year.  A UNHCR official told us 
they also agreed to a timetable that would begin repatriation of 
Congolese refugees in July 2009. 
 
Repatriation from Tanzania 
-------------------------- 
 
9.  (U) Repatriation of Congolese refugees in Tanzania has halted, 
according to UNHCR officials in Bukavu and Uvira, South Kivu. 
PolOff and Regional RefCoord visited an empty refugee transit center 
in Uvira May 17 and were told by a center official that he did not 
know when the next refugee returns would take place.  Many Congolese 
refugees once volunteered for repatriation from Tanzania, however 
those that remain have been there many years and established 
Tanzanian roots.  They are opposed to repatriation at this time. 
UNHCR officials told us that it is difficult to convince these 
refugees that the conditions are right for return to the DRC.

10.  (SBU) Comment:  Sustainable peace in the DRC's eastern 
provinces is essential to resolving longstanding refugee and IDP 
issues.  UNHCR and other humanitarian organizations continue to 
express concern that a military offensive against the FDLR or 
failure of the Amani program could create additional obstacles 
further hindering resolution of these issues.  End comment.
