Rwanda Intends to use the platform to explain to Malawi the process of voluntary repatriation, which the former insist is facilitated by UN refugee agency.
The Malawian government would require about Frw980 million to repatriate the 500 refugees.
“It’s the UNHCR that facilitates transportation of the refugees, not the Malawian government. However, we intend to visit the country and explain all the issues related to the repatriation of refugees,” Antoine Ruvebana, the permanent secretary in the Ministry of Disaster Management and Refugee Affairs, said yesterday.
Ruvebana said they have been to all other countries hosting Rwandan refugees and only Malawi was remaining, adding that it will help to clarify to Malawi about the matter.
The Malawian Home Affairs minister, Uladi Mussa, was quoted recently as saying that his country was constrained by resources to carry out the exercise.
