HANOI, March 16 (Xinhuanet) -- Another group of 35 Vietnamese
ethnic minority people who had illegally fled to Cambodia from
Vietnam's Tay Nguyen provinces left Cambodia's Mondulkiri province
to return home on Friday, local daily Vietnam News (VNS) reported
on Saturday.
   They were welcomed at the border gate by Gia Lai provincial
authorities upon their return on Friday.
   The latest repatriation followed the return of 43 illegal
migrants of the country on Thursday.
   After arriving at the Le Thanh border gate in Duc Co District
of Gia Lai province, the returnees were given an initial allowance
of 500,000 Vietnamese dong (30 U.S. dollars), to help stabilize
their lives.
   The authorities of Cambodia's Mondulkiri province had taken
them to the Cambodia-Vietnam border, according to the returnees.
   Many people still living in make-shift camps in Cambodia were
looking forward to returning home to their families, the VNS
quoted some of the returnees as saying.
   More than 1,000 minority villagers in Vietnam's Tay Nguyen
provinces illegally crossed into Cambodia last year.  Enditem
