VOICED : Tanzanias last refugee camp to resettle half its population

The Nyarugusu refugee camp in Tanzania, home to nearly 60,000 people, was established 18 years ago due to conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Over time, it has evolved into a community where residents engage in agriculture, education, and small businesses. Despite the semblance of normalcy, the camp's residents face challenges due to limited freedom and the uncertainty of living in limbo.
