{{Following research conducted by the Rwandan Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, Cooperation and Security, it has been decided that the issue of Congolese refugees in Rwanda be discussed based on the truth of the matter.}}
The commission headed by Senator Mukakalisa Jean d’Arc revealed that Rwanda hosts about 60,000 Congolese refugees.
Shelters are so small and nobody realized including the International NGOs.
“More than 15 refugees share a space of 3×4 m. This is a problem to be seriously taken by the Government of Rwanda and UNHCR,” she said.
The commission has been asked whether Congolese refugees have hope in the camps.
It’s noted that most are optimistic about their lives in Rwanda while others do not wish to return to their native country fearing insecurity threats there.
