UN Refugee chief hails Rwanda on repatriations

KIGALI - The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), António Guterres is in the country for a two-day visit that aims at drawing a roadmap for a cessation clause, marking a closure to the existence of Rwandan refugees. During a meeting that was held at the Ministry of Local Government (MINALOC) yesterday, Guterres hailed Rwanda’s efforts of repatriating her refugees emphasizing that the last batch must return so that the chapter of Rwandan refugees becomes an issue of the past. “Rwanda has ensured that a remarkable number of refugees return home. In fact, it is one of the biggest numbers of returnees registered,” Guterres said.
