BOGOR: A total of 166 Afghan refugees, who had been living in
three shelters in Bogor, have returned to Afghanistan with the
improving situation in that country following the establishment
of a new government.

The head of the Bogor Immigration Office, Teuku Sjahrial, said
on Monday that 86 percent of 193 refugees in Bogor were from
Afghanistan, while the rest were from the Middle East.

"In general, the refugees wanted to return to Afghanistan
because the situation has returned to normal," he said.
