Rwanda: Returning Refugees Need More Than Comforting Words
Keywords:
  • Rwanda

During the 1994 mass migration of Rwandan refugees into the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo, what many people didnt realize was that there was also an influx of Rwandan refugees into Uganda. This week, fifteen years after the earth shattering Rwandan genocide, 20,000 refugees are finally returning home. Even though this is an important step towards the full restoration of a severely fractured society, one cannot help but wonder why has it taken so long?

The return and reintegration of refugees is an issue often overlooked during displacement crises. After aid groups rush in to provide humanitarian assistance and stabilize life threatening situations, refugee groups are often forgotten. Over a decade after the establishment of peace in Rwanda, refugee groups in Uganda are still reluctant to repatriate back to their home country. This is largely due to lack of sensitization programs that will convince the predominantly Hutu population that they will not be stigmatized upon their return to Rwanda. However, now that the Government of Rwanda has convinced groups that they will be safe and protected from harm if they return, it is important that this promise be fulfilled.
