Rwanda to issue IDs to former refugees in Zambia
Mary Kachepa-United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees -UNHCR- Representative PIERRINE AYLARA has called on all former Rwandan refugees living in Zambia to go to their embassy and collect their national identity cards.
Ms AYLARA has commended the Rwandan Government for issuing National Identity Cards to its citizens who are former refugees in Zambia.
She was speaking during the launch of the issuance of Rwanda National Identification Cards at the Rwandese High Commission in Lusaka today.
Meanwhile Rwanda’s High Commissioner to Zambia AMANDIN RUGIRA said there is no need for Rwandese Nationals to continue being refugees because it is safe in Rwanda.
He said the initiative to give National Identity Cards at the High Commission will encourage more former Rwandan refugees in Zambia to get their identity cards.
