Hundreds of Rwandan refugees, primarily women and children, have been repatriated from eastern Congo after living there since the 1994 genocide. This repatriation is facilitated by the UNHCR and Rwandan authorities amid an ongoing humanitarian crisis exacerbated by the presence of Rwandan-backed rebels like M23. The effort aims to repatriate 2,000 individuals, reflecting a desire for reintegration and support. Personal testimonies from returnees emphasize the emotional and historical significance of returning to a homeland many have never seen.
Hundreds of Rwandan refugees are being repatriated to Rwanda after decades in eastern Congo, highlighting the longstanding impact of the 1994 genocide.
