Speaking to IGIHE, the head of Communication in UR, Mike Karangwa said that not later than 30th this month, UR will have received the premises.

“The construction firm will hand to us the premises and students start using them. It has capacity of accommodating a big number of students, about 400, with 13 with lecture rooms, studios and offices,” he said.

Construction works started back in 2015. The premises’ master plan was developed by French Architect Patrick Schweitzer.

Speaking to France based media house, France Bleu recently, Schweitzer said that he borrowed the inspiration of the master plan from Volcanoes located in the Northern region of Rwanda.

“The idea was to construct a building which has lessons. We started from things available locally as a way to encourage students who will study there love local things,” he said.

The school was constructed using materials available locally including volcanic rocks locally known as ‘amakoro’. Over 350 got jobs during the construction activities.

The Government of Rwanda called on Rwandan refugees from different countries around the World to repatriate voluntarily or seek official documents to stay in host countries as residents.

Speaking to IGIHE yesterday, the Director of Refugee in MIDIMAR, Jean Claude Rwahama said that though people who have repatriated are few, the government of Rwanda has done all that is necessary to facilitate them during the exercise.

“What we were supposed to do was done. As we have said, our responsibility is to welcome them,” he said.

However, Rwahama said that they are not aware whether those yet to repatriate have sought official documents enabling them to stay in host countries, “none informed us, but it might be possible that they seek them through our embassies in different countries,”

On the other hand, some countries are still reluctant to implement the move, like Uganda which recently announced that they cannot remove refugee status for Rwandan refugees as they still receive others who flee from there.

According to MIDIMAR, cessation closure will affect a total of 16,000 Rwandan refugees from different countries.

Statistics from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNCHR) shows that over 3.5 million Rwandans have repatriated to the country since 1994.

The ambassador made the remarks on Saturday at the New Year 2018 celebration hosted by the embassy at Sheraton Hotel, Silver Spring, Maryland.

During the party, children were also entertained through various activities to accustom them to their Rwandan roots.

Those present enjoyed a meal and traditional dancing together.

The party is held annually bringing together the community and the embassy to kick off the New Year with renewed strength and will to serve the nation and keep showcasing Rwanda’s image in the world’s first economy, USA.
