About one tenth of asylum seekers in Finland return to their home countries voluntarily. In the past couple of years, the greatest number of asylum seekers heading home have been Iraqis. The Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) is setting up a permanent system to facilitate such moves, known as Assisted Voluntary Return.
Matti Heinonen, a senior Migri official, came back a few days ago from Somaliland, an autonomous region of Somalia, where he negotiated with local officials.
"We held talks with the Somaliland government and signed an agreement with them regarding voluntary returns," he told YLE.
