About 51 entered the country via the Kigali International Airport, Eight crossed to Rwanda through Gatuna Border while 14 others entered via the Rusumo Border side.
The month of May recorded 633 Rwandans which is the highest number of returnees comparing to the statistics of December 2014 where the number of returnees has slightly gone down.
As of August 2014, the number of returnees has declined due to many factors including the fact that many refugees from Kivu provinces have preferred to go to Congo based Kisangani camp which accommodate former FDLR fighters who have laid down their weapons and their Dependants.
