About 4,000 Rwandans have been received in Kirehe district after being evicted from the Kagera region in the north-western part of Tanzania since last week. The New Times/Timothy Kisambira.
The East African Community (EAC), should use appropriate channels to sort problems affecting citizens of any partner state, outgoing Speaker of Parliament Rose Mukantabana told lawmakers yesterday.
She was briefing MPs about last Thursday’s meeting of the Parliament’s Bureau, where matters concerning the eviction of Rwandans from Tanzania were discussed.
The Bureau, made up of the Speaker, president of the Senate and heads of House committees, comforted the returnees, rallied for their support and lauded government for the effort put in facilitating the affected people.
The MPs met yesterday for an extraordinary session convened to pass two Bills – one on genocide ideology and another establishing the general statutes for public service.
Mukantabana said: “The final outcome of our discussions was the appreciation that within the East African Community, if a problem arose, it can be discussed at a diplomatic level, and a solution worked out in a mutual manner.”
The Speaker stressed that it was important information she had to share with MPs though it was not time for debate on the matter. About 4,000 Rwandans have been received in Kirehe District after being evicted from the Kagera region in the north-western part of Tanzania since last week.
It is really sad that these families have been deported although it is so far not clear why.
ReplyDeleteAfricans historically are blood relations. I personally know some Burundis whose motheres are Tanzanians. If we are kicking these Rwanda nationals only because of the language their president used recently, then I don‘t think we‘re being fair on these poor asylum seekers. They are innocent.
