The group of men and women had all lost their claims for asylum but argue it is too dangerous to return to the African country.
The immigration service IND had said the group could reapply for asylum to see if there are new circumstances which would allow them to stay. After initially rejecting the IND offer, the Somalis have now agreed to have their cases looked at again, Nos said.
