Camp = a group of people living together in a camp?

Context:

South Africa has started negotiations with Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi’s camp to offer him a place of refuge as fighters have seized control of most of the capital Tripoli.

Gaddafi won’t come to South Africa as he has not asked for refuge, South African Foreign Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane told reporters on Monday, Reuters reported.

Rejecting reports of sending aircraft for Gaddafi, Nkoana-Mashabane said South Africa will only send means of transport at a “situation of strife” to evacuate its embassy staff and South African nationals to Tunisia.
