\neradicate all grass-thatched roofs in the country by the end of this month has
\nadmitted that \u2018sometimes we apply some force\u2019 <\/strong>
\nSurvival International\u2019s condemnation of the destruction of Batwa<\/span> Pygmy houses,
\nwhich has left many of the country\u2019s marginalised<\/span> people without shelter. The government, which is also active
\non Twitter, has tweeted that the Bye Bye Nyakatsi<\/span> programme<\/span> \u2018is about decent
\nhousing for all, no one is left homeless.\u2019<\/span>
\nKampayana<\/span>, told journalists, \u2018for anyone to still be in nyakatsi<\/span> [thatched
\nhouses] up to now only means that it is in their general attitudes to prefer to
\nlive in grass thatched houses. Some of them just do not want to change, but we
\ncannot let these drag everyone else back.\u2019<\/span>
\nliving in cramped conditions with ten other families, said last week, \u2018it\u2019s a
\ncatastrophic life which resembles that of a refugee.\u2019<\/span>
\nRwandan government to \u2018facilitate access to adequate housing for the Batwa<\/span>,
\nparticularly by avoiding forced evictions without consultation and without
\noffering alternative housing.\u2019<\/span>
\nare still waiting and are forced to live in the open, according to COPORWA<\/span>, Rwanda\u2019s Batwa<\/span> organization. Rwanda\u2019s Batwa<\/span> continue
\nto face racism and discrimination on a daily basis. Most eke out a meager
\nliving as wage laborers or potters after their communities were forced from
\ntheir forest homes to create national parks free from human habitation.
