 Tanzania closes Nduta camp housing thousands of Burundi refugees Tanzania has closed a camp housing thousands of Burundian refugees and repatriated all but a handful, activists and the United Nations said. Burundian refugees have complained in recent months of being forcibly evicted from the Nduta camp in northwestern Tanzania, following a deal between the governments in Dar Es Salaam and Bujumbura to repatriate around 100,000 of them by June. As of late 2025, there were an estimated 142,000 Burundian refugees housed in two Tanzanian camps - Nduta and Nyarugusu, according to the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR). "The approximately 3,000 refugees who remained in the (Nduta) camp were forcibly loaded onto vehicles to be sent back to Burundi on Thursday," the Coalition for Human Rights/Living in Refugee Camps (CDH/VICAR) said, AFP reported.

COMEDIAN RICKY GERVAIS RECEIVED HIS WALK OF FAME ON FRIDAY. (PHOTO).

 


Ricky Gervais proved he hasn't mellowed with age during his Hollywood Walk of Fame acceptance speech on Friday, delivering the kind of controversial moment that has defined his career.

But it was his follow-up comment that really raised eyebrows. 


Gervais thanked fellow Walk of Fame honorees including "Michael Jackson, Bill Cosby, Fatty Arbuckle" - three men who have all faced serious sexual assault allegations, though outcomes varied significantly in each case.

This isn't new territory for Gervais, who famously skewered Hollywood's elite during his Golden Globes hosting stints, particularly his 2020 performance that targeted everyone from Jeffrey Epstein connections to "woke" celebrity culture.


The comedian's philosophy remains unchanged: "You need to know that if you're doing anything of any worth, as many people hate you as love you." His supporters see him as a fearless truth-teller, while critics view his approach as unnecessarily provocative.
