Angolan refugees moved in Zambia
The United Nations Refugee Agency has begun to transfer several thousand Angolan refugees in Zambia from the border region to a camp inside the country. About 4,000 people fled to Zambia last week following renewed fighting between Angolan government forces and Unita rebels. A spokeswoman for the refugee agency, Delphine Marie, said it hoped to complete their transfer by the end of the week. There are already about 200,000 Angolan refugees in Zambia.
