In the first four months of 2013, some 7,300 Ivorians returned home with UNHCR's help from neighbouring Liberia under a voluntary repatriation programme launched in October 2011. "At this rate, UNHCR anticipates that up to 10,000 refugees will come back before the rainy season starts at the end of June," said Ann Encontre, the UNHCR representative in Côte d'Ivoire.
