70 Poso families join transmigration

MANADO, North Sulawesi: The North Sulawesi Manpower and
Transmigration office said on Saturday that 70 families staying
in safe areas outside restive Poso, Central Sulawesi, would not
return home but join a resettlement program to start a new life
in another province.

Henny Kondoy, the head of the office, said that refugees
staying with their relatives or renting cheap homes in North
Sulawesi had registered in the resettlement program to move to
another province.

She said that her office would consult with regional
administrations in the province and other provinces on their
placement so that their new residences would not cause any
problems. --Antara
