The Refugees Self Reliance Initiative a branch of Ezra Ministries of Tanzania has received credible reports that there are a lot of refugees from DR Congo, Rwanda and Burundi etc who are forced to return home against their will. We have spoken directly to the team of those refugees and register some mistreatment in the new camp of Nyarugusu.

It is hard for them to resist expulsion; some of them were forced to go back home countries from the former camp of Lugufu recently closed by Tanzania’s Government. Without taking action internationally to stop that kind of repatriation forced there is fears that those refugees will be forcibly returned to their home countries by Tanzania’s Government, they will be exposed to the danger of imprisonment, mistreatment, and possibly even death.

On our side we are trying to mobilize the international community to act by taking a kind of interventions on behalf of these refugees, also talking directly to Tanzania’s Government.

1. Mbele Jacque
