Rwanda ex-combatants repatriated from DRC

Many of the Rwandan returnees are ethnic Hutu fighters who have completed a rehabilitation and reintegration programme.

More than 700 former Rwandan fighters and their families have been repatriated, mainly from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and are now resettled in their home country.
