Dzonkha, was enforced.At around the same time, the first nationwide census in Bhutan's history revealed a large population of inhabitants of Nepali origin in Southern Bhutan. The government considered these people to be illegal immigrants. As such, they were forced to leave the country.A number of Southern Bhutanese, fled to Nepal where they were admitted into camps run by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees(UNHCR).While continuous attempts have been made between the governments of Bhutan and Nepal to resolve this issue, the number of people claiming to be "Bhutanese refugees" swelled to over 107000.In 2007, as a final attempt to resolve the issue, the US government announced that around 60000 of these people claiming to be "Bhutanese refugees" would be settled in the US in a third country settlement programme.

BB.BHUTANI@III Bhutanese Refugee,Sanischare Camp [04:56]
My country is Situated between the emerging superpowers of India and China, the isolated Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan, hailed by some as 'the last Shangri-La', has generated one of the highest numbers of refugees in the world in proportion to its population. Since 1991 over one sixth of Bhutan's people have sought asylum in Nepal, India and other countries around the world. The vast majority of the refugees are Lhotshampas, one of Bhutan's three main ethnic groups, who were forced to leave Bhutan in the early 1990s. There is ample evidence, as documented by Amnesty International and other human rights organisations, that the expulsion of large numbers of Lhotshampas was planned and executed with meticulous attention to detail. Over 105000 Bhutanese have spent more than 19 years living in refugee camps established in Nepal by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees. Thousands more are living outside the camps in Nepal and India, and some in North America, Europe and Australia. Since 2008 a resettlement process has seen many thousands of Bhutanese refugees from the camps in Nepal being re-settled primarily in the USA but also in Canada, Australia, Denmark, New Zealand, the Netherlands and Norway. Off course we are in different country now but we are BHUTANESE our hope and determination to return to Bhutan is still very much Alive.So i make this slideshow in order to remember passed days and to celebrate WORLD REFUGEE DAY 2011 Thank you very much I MISS YOU ALL ...
