Africa-Press – . <\/strong><\/span>A total of 23 Rwandans were on Friday, August 6, deported from Uganda after being illegally detained in the neighbouring country.<\/p>\n

A handover ceremony took place at the Kagitumba One-Stop Border Post between Rwanda and Uganda and was overseen by immigration officials from both countries.<\/p>\n

The 23 deportees include 19 men, three women and one child.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival, the group was tested for Covid-19, four of whom tested positive and have since been taken to Ngarama Hospital for further treatment.<\/p>\n

The rest of the group has been taken to Nyagatare isolation centre.<\/p>\n

All deportees who were interviewed said they had been detained together in Kyamugolani Prison in Mbarara, Western Uganda for allegations of illegal stay.<\/p>\n

They are part of the thousands of Rwandans who have been dumped at the border by Ugandan authorities after lengthy periods of detention.<\/p>\n

Out of the 23, only one Aphrodis Ndayisaba, 36, was detained last month.<\/p>\n

The rest of the group said they were intercepted in June this year.<\/p>\n

They include four who were arrested on the same day; Jean Marie Vianney Bisengimana, Nason Ntawumenyibiramuka, Dieudonne Byenda and Yoramu Dieudonne.<\/p>\n

Also detained in the same month are; Patricia Mukahirwa 67, Celestin Muhayimana 25, Denise Akumuntu 38, Ezekiel Kubwimana 25, and Albert Nsanzimana 21.<\/p>\n

Jean-Claude Manishimwe 25, Callixte Dusengimana 36, Leopold Habimana 35, Mussa Mugiraneza 32, Damien Byukusenge 37, and Jeanette Uwimana 30, are also part of the group.<\/p>\n

Also deported on Friday is Domiri Uzabakiriho 25, Daniel Musabyimana 36, Faustin Ntirenganya 35, Aphrodis Niyongira 26, and Peter Shema, who looked mentally disabled.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time Ugandan officials dump Rwandans illegally detained in their county for lengthy periods of time.<\/p>\n

Illegal detention of Rwandan nationals in Uganda is one of the issues at the heart of strained relations between the two neighbors, others being Kampala\u2019s alleged support to anti-Kigali militia groups and economic sabotage.<\/p>\n

The two governments have since held a series of high-profile meetings, including at the Heads of State level, under the facilitation of Angola and DR Congo, in efforts to find a lasting solution.<\/p>\n
