Altogether 50,527 exiled Bhutanese refugees from various refugee camps of Jhapa and Morang have left for different countries under the ongoing third country resettlement program.
The United States has taken the biggest number of refugees, informed a source at the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) that has been processing the logistics for resettling refugees.
As of now, 42,601 Bhutanese have been resettled in various US states.
Meanwhile, Australia has resettled 2844 refugees, Canada 3317, Denmark 488, the Netherlands 229, New Zealand 564, Norway 373 and the United Kingdom 111.
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, still around 60,000 refugees from Bhutan continue to stay in Nepal.
Yes. I hope, Bhutanese citizens who are resettled in different good countries shall become good not only to their own family and self but, to the place they are living and in reality honestly contribute good things to make Bhutan good, free Bhutan from the hands of bad ruling class, bad elements and bad thinkings. Such works or this work by resettled Bhutanese can best justify their new life. And surely, life becomes meaningful for all of us.
Thanks BNS for the update, Appreciated.
BNS team, Thanx for the update. It is good to know where are out people living?
Bhutanese Refugee problem will never solve becoz India wants to keep this problem as long as possible.There is big benefit for India from Bhutanese Refugee problem.In future if Govt of Bhutan try to disobey India’s instruction at that time India will use this refugee for their benefit.Bhutanese refugee will never completely resettle. 100% sure that this is a diplomatic game of India
Moni, you are right. Let that future time period be shortened and see it is used in favor of the people of Bhutan not only in the political intetrest of India. India must recognize the alternative political power in Bhutan, which is not against India but a democratic power which fits in today’s society. And we can justify that.
Moni, you are right India will or is playing with Bhutan. And in future India will use Bhutanese refugee against any odds it creats for India. But, let that future time period be shortened and brought to our times and see things sorted in our life times. India will recognize alternative political power of Bhutan soon. Till date, this is lacking because of accepted and recognized political leaders.
