In a statement, the Embassy reassured that all Rwandans in both countries remain safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Embassy and Consulate team is in close contact with Rwandans within our jurisdiction and is coordinating with relevant entities to ensure our citizens receive the necessary services and support,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advisory comes in the context of a critical escalation in the region following heavy strikes by the United States and Israel against Iran, which began on February 28, 2026. Iran has retaliated against neighbouring countries, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain, causing disruptions to air traffic and widespread panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Embassy urged all Rwandan citizens to follow the safety instructions issued by local authorities and particularly called on tourists stranded in the UAE to register their presence with the Embassy to facilitate necessary assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
