Mpanda Airport
Mpanda Airport (IATA: NPY, ICAO: HTMP) is an airport in western Tanzania serving the town of Mpanda and the surrounding Katavi Region. It is on the southeastern side of the town. The UN Refugee Agency UNHCR helped the Government of Tanzania to finance the upgrade of the airstrip into an airport as a gesture of its appreciation for hosting Burundian refugees for more than 30 years.[4][5]

gollark: Macros and such. Nim uses them a lot. It also has templates, which are quite a useful cut-down version which is good enough a lot of the time.
gollark: The ability to extend the language from within the language.
gollark: Very nice, though. Great metaprogramming.
gollark: Specifically, not many people use it, it has a big set of somewhat weirdly interacting features, and there are bizarre quirks all over the place.
