COMMENT.
THE MEASURES INTRODUCED BY THE RTG IN LATE JANUARY HAVE HAD THE DESIRED EFFECT, WITH ARRIVALS DOWN FROM A PEAK
3=
OF AROUND 2,500 IN JANUARY TO PRACTICALLY ZERO IN APRIL AND MAY. EVEN SO, TOTAL ARRIVALS FOR THE FIRST FIVE MONTHS OF THIS YEAR NUMBER NEARLY 5,000. UNHCR HAVE SOUGHT, THROUGH THE MOU WITH THE THAIS, TO MAKE THE BEST OF A BAD DEAL AND SECURE AS MUCH AS THEY CAN FROM THE THAIS.
