I found this article to be fascinating. It highlights the relationship between Bhutanese refugees living in camps in Nepal and Nepalese citizens who live near the camps. It highlights the fact that Nepalese citizens have come to depend on the camps for business and asks what will happen to these people after the camps are closed.
No refuge when refugees leave - Nepali Times: "The government and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) are closing and consolidating the camps as some of the remaining 63,000 refugees prepare to leave. Locals who depend on the camps for business and jobs now have to seek refuge elsewhere. Nearly 700 families were relocated to Beldangi and Sanischare from Goldhap in eastern Jhapa in June. Goldhap, the fifth and smallest of the camps which housed 4,600 refugees since 1990, is now a vacant lot."
This is a test.
