At least 81 asylum seekers from Libya who were hosted in Rwanda’s emergency transit mechanism in Bugesera District, Gashora Transit Centre, have been resettled in different countries, since their arrival last year, according to The New Times.
The source added that Forty-nine of them were resettled before the Covid-19 outbreak whereas 33 were relocated to Canada and Norway after Kigali resumed air transport, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
The UN agency also hopes that between 30 to 40 more asylum seekers will depart to France and Norway before the end of this year.
