The Ethiopian government disclosed on May 16 that some 45 camps that have been hosting Internally Displaced People (IDP) were closed as part of the ongoing national repatriation efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recently terminated 45 IDP camps had been housing more than 66,000 ethnic-conflict affected people, who left their homes following a recent ethnic conflict along the border of Ethiopia’s largest Oromia region and Benishangul Gumuz region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, the Ethiopian government disclosed the voluntary return of some 870,000 IDPs to their areas of origin in different parts of the East African country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nationwide repatriation efforts began last month as part of a strategic plan that aimed to address internal displacement across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
