March 29th
An eventful day at the camp. The UN held a meeting for the camp leaders to discuss the issue of Sorghum distribution and the refugees were not happy. The UN basically explained to them that this was all that they were getting and to either take it or leave it. Nobody knows whether they will get Maize or not in the next distribution. They also discussed how several refugees had been arrested for leaving the camp without permits. The rep. for the Government of Zambia announced that he had seen to their release but would not be so forgiving the next time it happened. A final issue that was discussed was that of schools, a new secondary school is to be opened in the camp at the end of the month of March.
