Rwandan Refugees Run Out of Time in Uganda

allAfrica.com: Central Africa: Go Home, Uganda Tells Rwandan Refugees (Page 1 of 1)
Thousands of Rwandan refugees in Uganda could lose their status following the expiry of a deadline for voluntarily return to their country, officials said.

"We have been pushed to the limits, there is no justification for them to remain in Uganda," Tarsis Kabwengyere, Uganda's minister of disaster preparedness and refugees, said.

Money, he added, was being spent on refugees whose home country was stable and willing to take them back. Ugandan camps had also swollen due to renewed violence in eastern Congo, and there was need for some refugees to return home.
