United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) Representative Laura Lo Castro says the situation regarding the welfare of refugees in the country has now normalized.

Ms. Castro however notes that she is hopeful that the events of harassing refugees on suspensions of ritual murders will not repeat it.

She says Zambia has always been welcoming to refugees in the country and so it should continue to be host to refugees regardless of what happened in the past.

Ms. Castro says refugees come to Zambia because they know that Zambia is a peaceful country and so Zambia should maintain that status.

She further states that they will try to advocate for the government to ensure that the policies relating to refugees become less stringent.
