UK also accepts Bhutanese Refugees!!

United Kingdom has also decided to resettle 200 Bhutanese refugees in it's land. UK will be the another country for resettlement after United States, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands, Denmark, Canada and Norway. According to UNHCR, some 83,000 refugees have expressed their willingness for resettlement.

The enthusiasts for third country resettlement have yet another reason to cheer
for now, thanks to United Kingdom that it has offered to settle some of the
exiled Bhutanese from Nepal.
The country will start the process for
resettlement from next week, in Damak, where all other countries — United
States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Norway and Netherlands —
conduct processing.
According to reliable sources at the Minister of Foreign
Affairs in Nepal, the country will take over 200 exiled Bhutanese for
resettlement in the next two months’ period.

Hey Guys,

Perhaps it is yet another time for refugees to cheer that UK offers resettlement in its land, however. absolutely NOT for the VOICELESS people like me who is one among several hundreds Non-Registered Bhutanese refugees. Devoid of access to any support System provided by international communities for refugees, we are forced into a situation of either complete dependence on the registered members of our family, freinds and relatives or forage outside the camps for low paid daily wage for survival.
Host Nepali Govt. is not Concerned about our registration at the camps, UNHCR spells out it is NOT their look out but the Nepal Govt's responsibilities. For both Nepal Govt. and UNHCR we are People NOT OF their CONCERN (NOC)!!!
Help US getting out of this HELL!
