“…The government of Tanzania and international donor agencies had to seriously consider long-term solutions for the first case-load of refugees still in settlement areas, as well as the self-settled refugees. This group was considered distinct, due to both the length of time they had been in exile in Tanzania (more than two-thirds were born in Tanzania), and their economic benefit to the country (Kuch 2016;Ongpin 2008).…”

The settlements for the Newly Naturalized Tanzanians are found in the far Western hinterland in settlements like Mishamo (Uvinza), Katumba (Mpanda), or Ulyankulu (Tabora).…”

“…This change led to the expulsion of Rwandan refugees in order to remain good trade relations between Kigali and Dar es Salaam. One of Tanzania's most prominent, contested and defied refugee policies is its mobility policy, which does not allow refugees or asylum seekers without special permission to reside or seek economic opportunities outside of camps (Kuch, 2016). This became a defining and iconic feature of Tanzania's refugee mandate beginning in 1997, when Tanzanian authorities actively returned Burundians living in urban areas to camps (Milner, 2013).…”
