Second group of Afghans head home from Indonesia

In Indonesia, a second group of Afghan asylum seekers has left for home under a voluntary repatriation program organised by the International Organisation for Migration.

Some 64 men, women and children, waved and hugged friends as they left on flights from Jakarta.

A spokesman for IOM's Indonesia office says there are at least 200 Afghans who have stated their willingness to go home, and he expects the repatriation program to continue for up to four more weeks.
