The latest batch of returnees, mostly women and children, crossed into Rwanda through La Corniche border post linking Goma and Rubavu.<\/p>\n

The repatriation follows agreements reached during a tripartite meeting between Rwanda, the DRC, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on July 24, 2025.<\/p>\n

Before returning home, the group had been staying in a transit camp in Goma after leaving various areas in eastern Congo where they had been under FDLR control.<\/p>\n

The Mayor of Rubavu District, Prosper Mulindwa, assured the returnees that the Rwandan government has several programs in place to help them reintegrate into normal life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will immediately be included in national support programs designed for low-income Rwandans to help them overcome challenges and catch up in development,\u201d Mulindwa said. \u201cLocal communities are encouraged to assist them based on their needs and the opportunities available where they settle.\u201d <\/p>\n

He added that once the returnees complete their short stay at Kijote Transit Center in Nyabihu District, the government will provide each of them with a reintegration package to help them start afresh.<\/p>\n

Adults over 18 years old will receive $188, minors $113, and every individual will be given basic food supplies worth Frw 45,000.<\/p>\n
