Rwanda received 176 more asylum seekers from Libya Friday, bringing the total number of evacuees to the country to 824 since the start of the exercise under the Emergency Transit Mechanism in September 2019.
This is the seventh evacuation flight to arrive in the country and will join 203 other evacuees currently hosted at the transit centre based in Bugesera pending resettlement to third countries, return to countries of origin or to reside in Rwanda, among other options.
