The Ghana Refugee Board is faced with an option of integrating some ‘unwilling’ Liberian refugees some of who would rather go to another country.Out of over 11,000 refugees at the Buduburam camp in Kasoa near Cape Coast only 198 are willing to be repatriated to their native home, the UNHCR has revealed.According to the chairman of the Ghana Refugee Board, Ken Dzirasah majority of the remaining say they want to be resettled to another country.They are unwilling to return to Liberia or be integrated into the Ghanaian society.They have taken a hard-line approach, and would not want to deal with the Board- the statutory institution mandated to deal with issues of refugees in Ghana, Ken Dzirasah noted.Mr Dzirasah in an interview with Joy News maintained no country is willing to accept the Liberian refugees from Ghana, adding, the only two options left for the resolution of the problem is integration and repatriation.Public Affairs Director of the UNHCR, Ewurabena Hutchful says they are seriously considering the option of integration.She explained that with the little interest shown by the refugees in being repatriated, her outfit as well as the government of Ghana are thinking of a policy on integration.Source: Joy News/Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
