In 1969 an agreement of the Organization of African Unity governed the rank of refugees living within Africa. This agreement states that countries are not allowed to forcibly repatriate refugees.

Currently, African countries depend on international aid to provide food and supplies to their refugee population. Most of the aid programs are supervised by the Organization of African Unity and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The UNHCR also extended its policy to make refugees self-sufficient and started promoting repatriation. However, these organizatons have not been able to achieve that goal of helping the refugees to better their current situations, since about 80% are unemployed, and bringing the population rate within camps down, because the global population has almost tripled within the last ten years.

"Although they are not criminals, refugees are effectively incarcerated for an indefinite term. Cast into a permanently temporary state, in city-sized camps offering little hope of economic self-sufficiency, displaced people live in situations of imposed and institutionalized hopelessness."

However, with a bit more care, we can not only solve refugees' problems; we can also provide some respect for them by giving them a choice to stay or not and actually show some better passion for this subject matter.
