FORMER REFUGEES URGE COLLEAGUES TO REPATRIATE A group of visiting Rwandan refugees has cited prolonged clearance procedures by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHRC) among the factors undermining repatriation efforts. They are urging the UNHCR to ease the process of clearance to enable more people still living in camps in various countries to return home. Celestin Soter Hakizimana, Asnath Mukanteri, from Niger and Desire Rugira, from Uganda, were speaking at a news briefing in Kigali this week. Responding to journalists’ questions, all the returnees cited lack of appropriate information, travel documents and negative propaganda by ‘hard core’ refugees who fear to return to answer for crimes committed before they fled the country, among the challenges hindering the repatriation process. Rugira, who has lived in Uganda for 15 years, said he had finally made up his mind to repatriate.
