President Paul Kagame of Rwanda has threatened to deport refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo .President Paul Kagame of Rwanda says his country is not a"dumping ground" for people from the DRC.The Rwandophone community in eastern DRC has been subjected to xenophobia and hate speech.
He was reacting to accusations that he was aiding M23 rebels to destabilise the eastern part of the DRC. Kagame said he would move ahead with plans to deport the refugees to show that the problem in eastern DRC was not Rwanda's."Those who think it's Rwanda's problem, and not Congo's: first of all, remove these Congolese from here... Those who are coming in every day just on the actions of the government and institutions.If you tell me government is not functioning properly... that is still none of my business.
If Rwanda is to go ahead with deporting and blocking DRC refugees, there are fears that the Rwandophone community in eastern DRC could be victimised.
