Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The Rwandan government has confirmed the arrival of seven migrants from the United States, as part of a resettlement agreement signed this year.<\/p>\n

“The first group of seven vetted migrants arrived in Rwanda in mid-August,” Yolande Makolo, the government spokesperson, said.<\/p>\n

She said the migrants are accommodated by an international organization and receive visits by the International Organization on Migration (IOM) and Rwandan social services.<\/p>\n

Makolo said three of the individuals have expressed a desire to return to their home countries, while four wish to stay and build lives in Rwanda. Their countries of origin were not made public.<\/p>\n

“Regardless of their specific needs, all of these individuals will receive appropriate support and protection from the Rwandan government,” Makolo added.<\/p>\n

Following Washington’s request, Rwanda agreed to receive up to 250 third national migrants from the US.<\/p>\n

Under the agreement, Rwanda has the ability to approve each individual proposed for resettlement and those approved will be provided with workforce training, health care, and accomodation support.<\/p>\n
