The BBC's Jane Standley reports from Tanzania on the latest movements of hundreds of thousands of Rwandan refugees. Tanzania has told the half-million Rwandans in camps there that they should go home by the end of the month. That had prompted many of the refugees to leave their camps and head away from Rwanda, but today large numbers headed back toward the camps. Tanzanian authorities insist it is safe for the refugees to return to Rwanda; many of the Hutu refugees fear retribution for the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, carried out against Tutsis.
