(251126) -- KIGALI, Nov. 26, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Burundian refugees to be repatriated are seen at the Nemba-Gasenyi border post between Rwanda and Burundi, on Nov. 25, 2025. A total of 115 Burundian refugees, many of whom fled to Rwanda in 2015 due to political instability, have been voluntarily repatriated to their home country, according to an official from the Rwandan Ministry in charge of Emergency Management.

The group included 107 individuals from Mahama Refugee Camp in Kirehe District in eastern Rwanda, and eight others from Kigali, the capital of Rwanda.

They were handed over to Burundian authorities at the Rwanda-Burundi border in Nemba, said Gonzague Karagire, the refugee program manager at the ministry, on Tuesday. (Photo by Cyril Ndegeya/Xinhua)
