GABORONE, June 20 (Xinhua) -- Botswana on Thursday pleaded with refugees residing at Dukwi Refugee Camp, some 550 km northeast of Gaborone, Botswana's capital, to consider integration with local communities.
"Last year, I urged refugees to consider local integration as a durable option, but I regret that very low numbers of applications have been received," said Machana Ronald Shamukuni, Botswanan minister of justice, at the commemoration of the World Refugee Day, which fell on Thursday.
