Arusha — Tanzania is seeking funds from the European Union (EU) and other donors for the repatriation of 500 illegal immigrants from Ethiopia stranded in the country.

According to Dr Qasim Sufi, the Chief of Mission of the International Organisation for Migration (IOM); the organisation is deeply concerned about the steady flow of migrants on the Ethiopia-Kenya-Tanzania-South Africa migration route.

He called on concerned countries to enhance communication and information sharing, noting that the IOM is committed to supporting the initiative.

“With the financial support from the EU, we will be able to assist the voluntary return and reintegration to 500 Ethiopian migrants stranded in Tanzania by the end of the year,” he told government officials from Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia and IOM missions at Mt Meru Hotel.
