Millions of Angolans remained uprooted at the end of 2002, including 2 million to 3.5 million persons displaced within Angola and nearly 410,000 refugees and asylum seekers outside the country. Meanwhile, nearly 25,000 citizens of Congo-Brazzaville were refugees or asylum seekers at the end of 2002, including about 15,000 in Gabon, some 3,000 in Congo-Kinshasa, and nearly 5,000 asylum applicants in Western industrialized countries. An estimated 100,000 people in Congo-Brazzaville were internally displaced at year’s end, including tens of thousands who were newly uprooted by violence during 2002. This is according to the World Refugee Survey 2003, released last week by the US Committee for refugees.
