The first group of 66 African refugees and asylum seekers who arrived in Rwanda two weeks ago have settled in at the transit centre at Gashora in Bugesera district, which is about a two-hour drive south of the capital Kigali.
While the UNHCR’s external relations officer in Kigali Elise Villechalene told The EastAfrican that the refugees were free to move outside the camp, the Ministry of Disaster Management and Refugee Affairs insisted that the camp is out of bounds to all including the media.
